When speaking about finished products, I also saw lots of stuff made in UE in Eastern Europe.

But for example China exports a lot of textiles. Many clothes are still made in Europe, but a large percent of textiles come from China.

That said, I'm glad that Germany can be the powerhouse that it is by focusing on quality rather than cheap-labor. It shows that it is possible. Good for them.

It's good to know that quality still sells, and prices aren't everything.

Maybe because of Europe's location, I see textiles sourced from places like Turkey and even Latin America, rather than purely from China/Asia in general. What kind of things do you see coming out of the UE?
