China's Commercial Predominance

If you've perused my earlier posting you'll have noticed that I took delivery of a new toaster. It's made by a company called Krup and built like a German automobile. You shall also have gathered that it is made in China. Nothing unusual there.

I bought a pair of Peter Storm over-trousers yesterday and, once again they were made in China.

There appears to be a not inconsiderable fraction of goods emanating from China nowadays; it's the Chinese commercial and global predominance which is so remarkable.
