I have received an email from my Taiwanese relative on Sept 7, 2012. To spread the news out "refuse to buy products that Made in Korea or Japan". Here is Chinese FriendFinder and I think a lot of Chinese can read this blog. I think there are many bilinguals here.
請火速轉發，傳遍全體華人！
韓 國人說：我們不會向兩個國家道歉：一個是台灣，另一 個是日本。
因 為在台灣隨處見韓國電器、手機、汽車，而在韓國街 上，你轉上幾天也不會看到1輛日本,台灣,美國車。
這 就是台灣不敢輕視韓國的理由。
有1位高官說過：不 管我們如何努力, 韓國人也不會買 我們的產品。但就算我們永不向台灣道歉，台灣人照樣 會買我們的產品。
1 句讓台灣人從頭 涼到腳的話。每買1百元韓國貨，就 會給韓國政府送去5 元錢，讓韓國多 造10顆子彈，多印8頁教科書。
如 果你買韓國汽車，將來開上台灣街頭的韓國坦克就是你 造的！如果你買韓國櫥具，將來射穿同胞頭顱的子彈就 是你造的！如果你買 篧q視音響，將來就會在戰地喇 叭中聽到同胞被殺的哀鳴！
請 傳給20個人,支持台灣抵制韓 國貨！就算沒有回報，這也是你的義務！
請 大家將這個消息發送到你所在的每1個群。
韓 國對台灣的依賴程度現排最前，特別是對中國市場的依 賴。
如 果台灣人1個月不買韓國 貨，韓國將有數千家企業面臨破產。
如 果台灣人6個月不買韓國 貨，韓國將有1半人失業。
如 果台灣人1年不買韓國貨， 韓國經濟結構徹底瓦解！
韓 加上太極，也不會給你加QB。考驗的就是你 那顆國心
願意的就轉發， 不願意的希望你默默無語看看就行！
也 許你發布一次！就牽動韓經濟1億元。
如 果三個月沒有1百萬人轉的話， 這表示我們台灣人真的敗了！
是 台灣人轉發頂起來! 讓我們銘記這恥 辱。
I emailed to her as follows.
I love Taiwan as much as you do, I can understand your email tell us "Don't buy any product that was Made in Korea" because what Korean said to Taiwanese. However, this is a "Free Trade" world, we should NOT carry grudges way back to history. I received a forwarding email on Aug 9, 2012 that saying the similar patriotic story that a famous TV anchor, Diane Sawyer, encouraged Americans "Don't buy products that Made in China". I got so many responses from many of my American friends. They all said it is virtually impossible to buy merchandises that Made in USA.
To be honest with you, I have Samsung flat-panel TV and my has Samsung Galaxy SIII 4G LT smartphone. (Samsung is Korea company) We choose the product because the qualities, functions, and prices, ...... I drive Honda Odyssey, Accord, Civic which are Made in Japan, knowing Japanese killed millions of Chinese during WWII. I was born and raised in Taiwan for my first 25 years and have been residing in CA for 32 years, I need to say something fair that we can't buy products from Japan or Korea because what they have done to us in the history. Let bygones be bygones. Aren't you happy that many of Apple's products, components are Made in Taiwan?? Taiwan is on the top in the world in semi-conductor industry. Are you proud of Taiwan because Apple and Google use our technology?? So, stop to say those non-sense things. What if Apple stop buy computer chips or cellular chips from Taiwan?
Cloud, you are my relative. That's why I spend so much time to explain to you why we can't carry grudges NOT to buy other country's product because we are in a "Free Trade" world. Please try to understand why I don't agree with your email "Don't buy products Made in Korea".
In conclusion, I eat in USA and gained a lot of weight.
p.s. I bought a Google Nexus 7 32GB tablet computer lately which is software by Google (American company) and hardware by Asus (Taiwanese company). I finally buy a product that 1/2 Made in USA and 1/2 Made in Taiwan and I like the product.

I received a forwarding email on 8/9/12. (A little bit of my background. I've emigrated to Calif from Taiwan in 1980, so my first 25 years was in Taiwan and 32 years in USA.)
Well over 50 yrs ago I knew a lady who would not buy Christmas gifts if they were made in China. Her will recognize her in the following.
Did you all see Diane Sawyer's special report? They removed ALL items from a typical, middle class family's home that were not made in the USA . There was hardly anything left besides the kitchen sink. Literally. During the special they showed truckloads of items - USA made - being brought in to replace everything and talked about how to find these items and the difference in price etc..
It was interesting that Diane said if every American spent just $64 more than normal on USA made items this year, it would create something like 200,000 new jobs!
I WAS BUYING FOOD THE OTHER DAY AT WAL-MART and ON THE LABEL OF SOME PRODUCTS IT SAID 'FROM CHINA '
FOR EXAMPLE THE "OUR FAMILY" BRAND OF THE MANDARIN ORANGES SAYS RIGHT ON THE CAN 'FROM CHINA ' I WAS SHOCKED SO FOR A FEW MORE CENTS I BOUGHT THE LIBERTY GOLD BRAND OR THE DOLE
SINCE IT'S FROM CALIF
Are we Americans as dumb as we appear --- or --- is it that we just do not think? The Chinese, knowingly and intentionally, export inferior and even toxic products and dangerous toys and goods to be sold in American markets.
70% of Americans,.. believe that the trading privileges afforded to the Chinese should be suspended.
Why do you need the government to suspend trading privileges? You Can..DO IT YOURSELF,AMERICA !! Yes you can!!
Simply look on the bottom of every product you buy, and if it says 'Made in China ' or 'PRC' (and that now includes Hong Kong), simply choose another product, or none at all. You will be amazed at how dependent you are on Chinese products, and you will be equally amazed at what you can do without.
Who needs plastic eggs to celebrate Easter? If you must have eggs, use real ones and benefit some American farmer. Easter is just an example. The point is do not wait for the government to act. Just go ahead and assume control on your own.
THINK ABOUT THIS: If 200 million Americans each refuse to buy just $20 of Chinese goods, that's a billion dollar trade imbalance resolved in our favor...fast!!
Most of the people who have been reading about this matter are planning on implementing this on Aug. 1st and continue it until Sept. 1st. That is only one month of trading losses, but it will hit the Chinese for 1/12th of the total, or 8%, of their American exports. Then they might have to ask themselves if the benefits of their arrogance and lawlessness were worth it.
Remember, August 1st to Sept. 1st, 2012 START NOW.
Send this to everybody you know. Let's show them that we are Americans and NOBODY can take us for granted.
If we can't live without cheap (and keep in mind, they are not cheap!!)Chinese goods for one month out of our lives,WE DESERVE WHAT WE GET!
Pass it on, America ...
Well, come to think of it, instead of doing it for just 1 month why not try to do it all the time.
My reply to the sender with email that read as below. I also forward to my other friends.
It may sounds good from the surface, but do you have any Apple products??? iPod, iPhone, iPad, iMac, ..... all made in China (FoxConn) due to cheap labor to save cost from competition. Are Apple products with "Apple" logo count as American made or Chinese??? I always buy my dresses at Macy as long as I like the style and material, but I don't care where that cloth made. Macy made money and Macy is an American company. Wal-Mart is the one has been the target for criticism that using "made in China" to keep price down. Do you shop at Wal-Mart, Apple, or Macy?? I do. Do you drive Japanese Car? or Mercedes Benz from Germany? Let's think it over.
Many of my friends responded. (they are all Caucasian/White)
#1.
Why should we care who makes an item. It makes me sick that we try to set standards for other countries. They don't like it and I do not blame them.
#2.
AH ME... ALL MY APPLE STUFF IS PROBABLY MADE IN CHINA, AND PROBABLY MY HP STUFF TOO.
NOT SURE ABOUT MY ALOHA SHIRTS... AH.... THEY ARE MADE IN HAWAII...
BUT I BOUGHT THEM AT WAL-MART HERE. I DRIVE A TOYOTA CAMRY, 1996. I HAVE LOTS OF CHINESE TOOLS.
#3. (the sender)
Of course I drive a Subaru, bought from an American dealership through an American, but unlikeable salesman, and the service staff is all American...not undocumented aliens. I have had prior American cars, but found many faults done by American union workers. At least the Subaru is a quality product built by the pride of the workers...even though Japanese. (It seems that American cars have only advanced in quality/durability by this "foreign" influence). And I always buy the best product that I can, no matter who makes it! Hopefully our American built product will be superior, then I will buy it!
BTW: My Fuji bicycle is Japanese, but made in China, imported and sold by the American Company Performance Bicycle. I electrified it from an Australian Company who ordered the components from China (Hong Kong).The quality is good, and I would have bought it from an American, but there is none made here

This is the only time you see this phenomenon in your life.
Calendar August 2014
August, next year, will have 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays. This happens only once every 823 years. The Chinese call it 'Silver pockets full."
Actually you don't need to wait for 823 years. In July 2011 calendar also had 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays.
The good thing is we will have 5 weekends in August 2014.
823 years is preposterous.
every 31 day month has 5 of 3 successive days. approximately every 7th 31 day month will have the 29th as a Friday - then Friday Saturday and Sunday occur 5 times - there are seven 31 day months every year, so on average one of those will be a 5-Friday-Saturday-Sunday month.
August 2014 has 5 weekends.
January, March, May, July, August, October, December are the months that have 31 days in a year.
Look calendar of May 2015 has 5 Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. May 2015 is just 9 months away from August 2014. So, whoever originally said 823 years to have 5 weekends is ridiculous. We have been fooled by stupid Chinese.

A hoax phone call turned into a tragedy

The two Australian DJ's made a prank call to the hospital where the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate, was treated for her severe morning sickness. They pretended as Queen Elizabeth and Prince Charles. The phone call went through and the nurse transferred the call to the nurse station that taking care of Kate. These two Aussies secretly recorded the phone call and broadcasted on their radio station. Unfortunately, the nurse who took the call thought it was a real call. She committed suicide. A stupid joke became a tragedy. This is very sad.
To say in fairness of my opinion, Westerners (including Aussies) like to make jokes, or play pranks for fun which is Okay among the Westerners. But the nurse was from India, as far as I know, including Asians are less humorous for political incorrect jokes, or silly pranks. Different nationalities have different cultures and personalities, so they think differently. Unfortunately, the nurse took that phony call was too seriously and committed suicide. If the Aussies DJs could foresee this tragedy coming, they wouldn't make that dreadful phone call. If that nurse understood the culture of Westerners, she wouldn't kill herself.
