I hope we as a country, now support all the 'little' businesses that are helping out with the virus thing. The little businesses now making the NHS gowns etc that are filling the gap left in our ability to buy in cheap (and dear) foreign products. Doing so long term will be a big boost to these UK companies as we recover from the effects of the virus, and it will remove our dependancy on others in times of need. A good opportunity to grow our country for a change and quite timely with the Brexit vote (however you voted).
As for chinese crap, im involved in water quality, and often get sent in to investigate complaints where quality is suspected or a sample has failed. The first place i look in a house is the washing machine/dishwasher/taps. The reason for this is people use cheap nasty chinese cr@p connecting pipes, rather than tested versions that cost 3 or 4 times more, £1 or £4. The Shi7 from China is made from recycled tyres and other waste plastic, rather than virgin non leaching materials, and gives off tastes and odours to the water. People think they are getting a bargain when they buy the cheap ones, in reality all your getting is a chemical dosing. Time for a big change I think in a lot of areas.
