It's made in China, but it's not made in China

In an effort to boost their image and encourage more rampant consumption China has embarked on a new campaign to promote China to the world.

"Made in China, made with the world" is what they're trying to tell everyone. Sure the iPod is assembled in China, but the code and the concept are pure American. Yes we flat pack those groovy Ikea shelves, but the design is direct from the forests of Sweden.

In essence, China is only the enabler. We're the ones who keep asking them to give us more. And there's definitely no lead in the toys, or sulfuric acid in the drywall, or poison in the pet food, or exotic animals in the herbal medicines. Uh uh, no way. That's all in the past. The message now? If China screws up, it's your fault too. Because we're all in this together.

Given that almost everything mass produced comes from China, it seems kind of redundant to specify that it's from China...
