What will happen if China shops are closed? The people that will be affected the most are the poor, as some of these people depend on what these China shops sell. The goods they sell might be knock offs but can be very useful to those who can’t afford the original items.
China shops even sell materials that make life easier for people, not only the less fortunate but other people too. One of the things is that they sell their products at very cheap and reasonable prices which most people can afford. Even those who are against Chinese products buy goods from them.
Not only does the fact that they sell goods create jobs for people, but it also helps them generate an income to make a living for themselves. It might sound funny but it benefits others to buy goods and to sell it at a higher price to make a profit, to make a living.
Just think what will happen when the China shops doors are closed. Pensioners will have to pay N$300 for shoes, which is almost the entire pension they receive from the government. It is too expensive. People should also take others into account. Chinese goods are very valuable to people who are less fortunate.
