Nice one mate.. It's true. Some of the products are unavoidable. They're being made in China because of corporate greed and demand for cheaper products as a result of consumerism. We don't need to replace a phone or a laptop every 2 years. It's planned obsolescence by many manufacturer. I could be wrong but buying local could make a difference. Especially when China is trying to punish Australia just for asking for an investigation. They've already started bullying others at this stage. Once they surpass the US/NATO in military power, who knows, how's it gonna end for us.
