There have been calls around the world to ban Chinese-origin products due to the spread of the Wuhan virus to all countries. We all know that China is the manufacturing hub of the world so almost every electronic product and its components are manufactured in China. Due to this boycotting China products completely is not possible.
Even though some countries are finding ways to increase import taxes on products from China to give a boost to their domestic industries. Going in this way, India also banned several mobile apps and products originating from China.
Since then developers are coming up with different solutions to detect, Chinese products on eCommerce websites. If you are the person who falls into this category of boycotting Chinese products then I can help you with it. I will list out some of the possible solutions to detect the Chinese products.
Find Chinese products on Amazon and Flipkart
The extension that we are going to use called Chinese Product Detector which is a Chrome extension that works well in finding and detecting Chinese products on Amazon. As this extension is in the initial days of development it works only on Amazon as of now, the developer says more eCommerce websites will be added to this extension in the coming days.
Chinese Product Detector works well in finding products on Amazon. All you have to do is just open any product page, and then automatically extension shows you a popup with a red-colored cross mark if that product is of Chinese origin and asks you to proceed or not. It does nothing when you're on the non-Chinese product so when you click on the extension it shows you a green-colored checkmark confirming it is not a Chinese product.
As this extension is a relatively new one it may not be able to detect all Chinese products on Amazon. So if you encounter any Chinese product that is not detected by this extension then you can click on the "Yes, I will report" link in the extension menu and notify the developer.
We have another similar addon that works in Firefox called Highlight Chinese Products. it highlights products from China when you're shopping online and works on Amazon and Flipkart.
Highlight Chinese Products addon works by simply highlighting the text and background of the eCommerce website if the products are of Chinese-origin. With this, you will get an idea of what are Chinese products and what is not.
There are additional ways in which you can find if the product is of Chinese origin by looking closely on the eCommerce product page. As we all know that the Indian government had asked all the leading eCommerce platforms to display the country of origin on the product page. With this finding, Chinese products will not be difficult to find.
Conclusion:
So now you know how to detect the made in China products. I hope these extensions let you avoid buying Chinese products to some extent for those who are unaware of products originating from China.
