Do the Chinese do irony?

Good question, but damned near everything is made there here in Canada. Even hockey equipment now. (That's the only hockey that really exists - grass hockey is for girls).

Factory owner said he didn't know what the flags meant..... hmmm.....

Seems money talks even in communist countries.

They certainly don't miss an opportunity that for sure

You can just imagine the order happening on the telephone .....

"Hmmmmm Nice Frag - how many you want den?"

"Just a few thousand. I pay you in saffron - no questions asked, ok?"

"OK, no plobrem - bring van round back"

I expect the factory owners didn't have any idea. Getting court doing something out of line has such serious consequences you just don't do it. Having lived with Chinese fresh from china, they really don't know what's going on in the "real" world.. It's very scary! The Chinese government even sends you and official paper when you leave China to keep you plugged into there offical media machine...
