"American Girl Dolls Made In China"

"They're marketed as the all-American girls, each representing a

different period in American history." http://cbs11tv.comreported/.

It seems China is defining American heritage, culture and identity by

its products. The Chinese dolls teach American heritage, the doll

introduce different periods of American history. Many viewers of the

report did not like it when they heard that the dolls were made in China. Some bought the dolls

over years without knowing where they were produced, but if the purchaser looked carefully,

they could see that the dolls were made in China. The American dolls are more expensive than

Chinese ones and that can be a reason to buy them more. It seems they can be sold easily as

long as they are economical and make children happy.

"Some moms we talked to outside the American Girl Boutique and Bistro at the Galleria were

surprised about the dolls' true origin. But others we spoke to weren't surprised at all, and say

they'll still buy American Girl dolls.

"It doesn't bother me as long as they continue to provide the kind of quality items my girls will

enjoy," said shopper Wendy Bates.

Susan Mobley and her daughter say they're disappointed the dolls aren't American-made, but

say the message the dolls represent should still be celebrated.

"I'm not pleased with where they're made, but I'm not going to stop buying them... I have to

admit," Mobley said.

American Girl sent us this statement regarding the dolls' origin:

"Like the majority of the world's toys, American Girl products are manufactured in China, in addition to 18 other countries. All the design and conception work is done at the company's headquarters in Wisconsin."
And by the way, in case you're wondering, we did have a doll and its accessories tested for lead. Experts say the doll and its toys are perfectly safe."
Today China is an economic rival to the US. Chinese products are used across the world more and more. The reasonable prices are part of successful marketing. They are made according the people and market needs. Also, they benefit from the good innovations and creativities. So, as long as people are satisfied with Chinese products, China will be more satisfied with its economy.
