Shameful China

Being a Chinese outside my motherland I really shouldn't have blamed it, I just can't help!
Everybody would agree that Chinese products are worthwhile 'cos they're cheap. I bought a stapler for 2AUD at a shop, with 500 staples. I was pleased with the price until I started to use it last night.
The staples are thin, I noticed it right after removing the cover. At first,it was used to staple 2 or 3 pages something like that, and it was handy. However when I tried to use it for more than 10 pages, things started to get tough, I had to push hard to really force it so the staples can squeeze in, I didn't go mad at this, as long as it works, I thought. Things change again while I use it for more than 20 pages, I couldn't get any single staple through the pile, they're either bent or crushed halfway, I even tried to hammer the top! Nothing worked and I surrender, to this nasty stapler, and decided I'll go find another one today, no matter how expensive is it, never MADE IN CHINA again!
Actually, while I was in China, Chinese made staplers are handy, I don't know why Chinese products become so nasty outside China... Anyway, I think I should tell Chinese manufacturers, that profit is important yet it is not everything, if you rely on lowering quality to make better profit, you just lose customers i.e. more profit in future!
