Made in China







The Democratic Republic of Congo is a country in which nearly nothing is manufactured. Enormous quantities of precious minerals are extracted and shipped/smuggled out of the country, but there is no real infrastructure, almost nothing made, almost nothing to buy. What little there is available is almost invariable "made in China". Motorbikes, toilet paper, padlocks, biscuits, flipflops ... everything else you can thing of.

And of course, that's true in every other country on earth as well.
