Christmas is a consumer bonanza, but where do all these products that flood December come from? The answer’s China. From fake Christmas trees and ornaments to iPhones and XBoxes, China has become, for all intents and purposes, our North Pole. We unwrap the numbers. An original GOOD Video.

Why didn’t santa’s sleigh break? It should have fallen apart shortly after take off.

错误的中国地图,请注意~!
The map of China in the video is incorrect,for there lost 2 provinces: Hainan and Taiwan
Anonymous, Taiwan’s status is debatable. It may have been deliberate.
I need this song!! Anybody know who it’s by?
well, it is the U.S. fault for buying and establishing supply chains in china in the first place. china is there there to fill the demand for very low labor costs.
Omg, I have always wanted a little Chinese elf like the one featured in
this movie of my very own! Are we importing those too?
yes, it´s thhe U.S. fault for this Globalization shit, we screwded ourselves and that, the lack of an economy, that will be our downfall.
I firmly believe in solid international relations, especially where import/export is concerned. I drive a Hyndai and it is a great ride and extremely economical, 35 mpg and I love Chinese food.
If “everything is made in China” doesn’t scare you, then try to buy something that ISN’T made in China. That means China gets to say what we can and cannot have. Is that okay with you?
Buy American whenever you can!
I think people are missing the point of this video. Obviously, nobody is understanding the impact our mass consumption of chinese goods is having on America. We are destroying (actually we already have destroyed) out entire economy. There is hardly anything made in America anymore, which is extremely sad. America used to make some of the best quality goods out there, and now we, like idiots buy from china items that cost them cents to make for dollars. America complains about its economic crisis, the lack of jobs, and closing of car plants, well wake the hell up. THIS video just shows everybody WHY we are where we are. We export most jobs than goods. If America wants its economy back, then we need to bring the jobs back. But of course, washington plays a darling role in this too. Screwing over Americans. All the borrowed money from China is money that we poured into their economy by buying their goods. Washington keeps its mouth shut when it comes to matters on trade with china, and washington gets borrowed money.
Where in China is Santa Claus called Dun Che Lao Ren?
The song was probably made in China too, probably just like the video? ; )
The United States is the largest importer of goods and third largest exporter, though exports per capita are relatively low. Canada, China, Mexico, Japan, and Germany are its top trading partners. The leading export commodity is electrical machinery, while vehicles constitute the leading import. After an expansion that lasted just over six years, the U.S. economy has been in recession since December 2007.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UsaTrue, many *consumer* goods come from abroad, HOWEVER, the USA produces and exports many *industrial* goods and services also.
