			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just hit on Shel <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1197724769_0">Israel</span>&#8216;s post, <a href="http://redcouch.typepad.com/weblog/2007/12/chinese-parents.html?cid=93632696#comment-93632696" target="_blank">Chinese parents shop for toys made in the US or Japan</a>, on Global Neighbourhoods, and in a comment I found a nice link, <a href="http://toysnotmadeinchina.org" target="_blank">Toys not made in China</a>, thanks for <a href="http://astore.amazon.com/babyboomerhel-20/about" target="_blank">Julia Bourne-Smith</a>.</p>
<p>The site looks good, powered by <a href="http://amazon.com/" target="_blank"><span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1197722373_1">amazon.com</span></a>, so I think it is pretty valid and usable.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t agree with everything they write about toys <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1197724769_1">made in China</span>, at least I think there are toys that are well made, it&#8217;s just those are hard to find, and probably won&#8217;t have a &#8220;world-brand&#8221; label on them.</p>
<p><span id="more-69"></span>And for the dangerous substances and quality of material &#8211; last time when the world gone on <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20254745" title="Mattel issues new massive China toy recall" target="_blank">blaming China for the toxic lead </a>on the toys, <a href="http://www.latimes.com/business/printedition/la-fi-mattel22sep22,0,3156433.story?coll=la-headlines-pe-business" title="Mattel apologizes to China" target="_blank">it turned out that Mattel was the culprit</a>, the chinese used the exact materials <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1197724769_2">Mattel</span> specified to be used.</p>
<blockquote><p>The problem, Mattel&#8217;s Eckert said again and again, was in design, not manufacturing.</p></blockquote>
<p>So yes, chinese products can be shoddy and dangerous, but it&#8217;s not always the chinese who should be blamed &#8211; if you buy the cheapest labour and cheapest materials possible, like western companies in <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1197724769_3">China</span> do, don&#8217;t expect the highest quality.</p>
<p>Anyways, head over to <a href="http://toysnotmadeinchina.org" target="_blank">Toys not made in China</a>, or to a toystore where they sell locally made toys, and get your toys there.</p>
