The whole world is concerned about China made 'black hearted goods'. Can you
differentiate which one is made in Canada, Philippines, Taiwan or China?
The first 3 digits of the bar code is the country code wherein the product
was made.
Sample: All bar codes that start at 690 - 695 are all MADE IN CHINA.
471 is Made in Taiwan
Government and related departments won't educate the public.
Therefore, we have to educate ourselves.
Nowadays, Chinese businessmen know that consumers do not prefer products
'Made in China', so they don't show from which country it is made.
However, you may now refer to the bar code, remember if the first 3 digits
a 690-695 then it is Made in China.
