Was wondering with all the recent NBA basketball controversy regarding China vs the Hong Kong "freedom fighters" what Jason of Rapido thinks ??
And before anyone (forum moderators OR participants) scream "keep politics out of this", think about a few key points......
Rapido prides itself on (it) manufacturing in MAINLAND China. This has HUGE ramifications for its' workers rights, working conditions, job security, etc etc.
If the manufacturing was done in Greenland, China's woes would obviously not affect their production. But its not done in Greenland.
Secondly, and this is also an important point , buyers of Rapido products are contributing to China's economy, whether they, Jason, or this forums' moderators want
to admit it or not.
When I or anyone else spend up to 400 dollars (Can.) for a single Rapido model, I have every right to question the conditions(and rights of the citizens) where my
purchasing dollars end up.
Lastly, I truly hope this gets on the forum & creates discussion.
Basketball is as diverse (being a sport)from the China-Hong Kong sitch as model railroading is (being a hobby), so if a basketball team owner has a right to chime
in on his feelings without being muzzled, so should a buyer, any buyer, of Rapido products.
Human rights matter to EVERYone.
Comments anyone ??
