Good work, Gil!
-
I got this same pm a few days ago.
I did not know he was sending the message to everyone.
I asked Jin if he knew who this was and he said he was an agent of/for his products.
I guess he doesn't know we have been dealing direct with Jin.
I will request he stop spamming us.

I still remember when the Chinese engines’ manufacturer joined the other English forum few years ago introducing his early products and phishing sympathy picturing “his sick baby” to improve sales before invading the world with his copycat stolen designs. It’s one of many systematic world operations in all products’ fields to raise funds to be used against all Western & democratic countries. What a coincidence that their virus hit us right after imposing tariffs on their products in order to fix the trade deficit that was 1:2 in their favor. Now they sold Trillions of dollars worth of bad quality PPE; and they are claiming that their under-production vaccine for the COVID-19 works and will sell it for Trillions more. And guess what some of us are still buying their products!! Are we that weak?
Why do we/ I buy from China
Well simple really item from China 5 inch ( fits my lathe) NZ$240.00 free shipping 1 week buy to arrival.
from US ( better quality ? ) 6 inch as cheapest At least NZ$350.. plus NZ$392.00 shipping and it looks suspiciously same brand as my direct from china .
Other second hand probally US made are NZ$1500 plus NZ$1000.00 pr more to ship,
As for electronics we do make much in our country And importing is my only choice
Much the same rates as bove apply .
Regardless of quality and price , shipping from the US Kill many options
Cheers

.... And guess what some of us are still buying their products!! Are we that weak?
Yes. Dependence creates weakness.
I have dealt with Peoples Republic of China on a corporate level. It is a communal country run solely by one very authoritarian political party. Free enterprise does not exist there. Enterprise does exist, freedom to do business does not exist the way Westerners think of it. The CC Party is the ultimate business boss of ALL Mainland Chinese businesses. A small , medium, or large business can exist there IF it serves the goals of the Chinese Communist Party. Doing business with Peop Rep of China means always being ordered to “pay no attention to man behind the curtain”.
The CCP can be described in business as acting Hot & Cold and using Carrot or Stick. Currently they are acting Cold and beating with Stick. They are suspect of strongly cyberhitting Australia and threatening India’s borders. Mao taught Two Steps Forward , One Step Back. China will switch to Carrot when it benefits them, especially if their plans for November US elections work out.
They are currently aggressive with India regarding keeping India dependent on China for toys and electronics. India is trying to boycott. We on this forum are just seeing the faint microcosmic “scatter” of the CCP’s manufacturing and sales plans.
Thats how I see the aggressive spamming , and data harvesting , dropshipping, etc.
If CCP get happy soon, many cheap good toys will flow from most bountiful graces of Great Leader ........ :o

Bob, I see that yours has multiple recipients, where mine only has the one (myself). How is this showing for others?
(Attachment Link)
This is just plain wrong. The sender does not merit a reply of any kind.

I have not got a message.
I don't know whether to be pleased or upset that I am missing out :o

I have received the same personal message

Vague “dropshippers “and “affiliates” located in Shenzhen mainland China ruled by Chinese Communist Party.
Use caution against identity theft. Current CCP political policy is tense and targeting India and Australia.

I don't exactly consider this PM a good thing, especially for someone with no posts...
