I work for <a href="http://www.tea-and-coffee-emporium.co.uk/" rel="nofollow"><b>The Tea and Coffee Emporium</b></a> a British retailer. I have noticed that a lot of goods marketed as UK branded are manufactured in what was the British territory of Hong Kong, of course now China. So you are highly unlikely to be successful as you never know where it was manufactured. Equalyy I have to say that not all Chinese goods are inferior and not just in the field that I work. I love high end hi fi equipment and have seen a large number of this quality product emerging from China.

I also concerned by "branded" products that costs tons. Chinese "lower quality" products are good alternatives. Not knowing the exact contents of what we consume and the risks involved is a big issue. Maybe authorities should invest more in capability to assess such risks and I guess corruption might be an issue. I have no idea how many products gets access to the Mauritian territory without such assessments.

I think that instead of shouting from roof tops about MADE IN CHINA dangerous products, the government should instead solve the matter instead of making publicity with it. However there was a time when AJINOMOTO was boycotted by Americans. Was that real or simply a grudge against Chinese? If that was true then why do we still have AJINOMOTO in our local shops??? Yeah Mauritian Govenment instead of trying to help us identify other threats, they are jumping on the same thing over and over again to gain popularity. If you read L'express today (editiorial) you will learn that years back the Government was informed about the whole dangerous food being sold like the colour in Pistache Salé. Et alors? Eski zot ti sourde sa lepok la??? Bref...am happy if the government really removes all those products off the shelves, but they should also look for locals who don't give a s#&t about food act in Mauritius (kebab, dholl puri, roti, etc...) Especially kebab ki exposer dans coin lari! I ask myself in what ways these people are allowed to sell there!!! Who gives them the permit and if they don't have why are they not stopped???? Louche...louche... I simply don’t know where to start.

C’est vrai que dans bien des cas, nous voyons que les produits chinois sont des commodités de deuxième grade. Sans vouloir offenser les pro-Chine, je pense qu’une amélioration de la qualité des produits s’avère nécessaire. Il faut promouvoir le commerce sain. Il est très difficile de dire ce qu’est un commerce sain car plusieurs perspectives sont applicables. Cependant, pour nous qui sommes des consommateurs, nous voulons tout ce qu’il y a de mieux quand nous achetons un produit. Ainsi, pour nous, un commerce sain est un échange générateur de satisfaction. Prenons l’éxemple du “WIFI Dongle” comme distribué par l’opérateur Orange à l’île Maurice. Ledit produit n’est pas génératrice de satisfaction totale dans la mesure où le pilote (Driver) qui l’accompagne n’est pas tout à fait taillé pour ce modèle. Il est difficile d’installer cet objet afin de l’utiliser. En plus, j’ai pu constater qu’il est très compliqué de trouver le logiciel approprié pour faire marcher ce matériel. Tout ça pour dire que ce produit n’est pas complémenté avec un support adéquat. Bien sûr, j’ai pu l’installer après quelques essais infructueux. J’ai pu constater que le signal dont le gadget peut produire n’est pas si satisfaisant que ça. Il faut bien savoir comment le manipuler afin d’extraire le plus de performance possible. Cependant, je pense qu’une personne ayant un ordinateur portable accompagné d’un système WIFI sera plus satisfait en utilisant ce dernier pour ses besoins sans-fil. En résumé, je pense qu’il y a de la place pour dire que beaucoup de produits d’origine chinoise ne font pas des heureux. En ce qu’il s’agit des problèmes ayant trait aux produits comestibles, je prône pour plus de responsabilité et de rigidité de la part des autorités chinoise compétentes dans ce domaine.
