Well this is the first time I actually can see something positive in the fact that apparently everything you wear, use, look at, touch (but not eat, yet) is ‘Made in China’.

It’s cheap production, and they don’t ask any questions. Well, unfortunately, eventually even they do ask themselves what exactly they are producing. This so happened to a worker producing these ‘nice colourful’ flags for a while, until he grew suspicious and ‘went online’ to find out that they were happily producing and shipping ‘Free Tibet‘ flags (Read the story at BBC Online).

I love this story, but it also opens up a whole new possibility of analogue viruses: instead of programming Trojans and Worms, one can sabotage Chinas industry with subversive and contra-productive orders.

Or as Monty Python sings:

I like Chinese.
They come from a long way overseas,
But they’re cute and they’re cuddly, and they’re ready to please.
