Inside an electronic products mall in Maadi,Hassan,32,runs a compurter parts and electronic components store, where "MADE IN CHINA"stickers and Chinese characters are easily discovered on almost all the comodities, including headsets,keyboards and DVD discs.
"They are all from China.My elder brother goes to Guangzhou and Shenzhen in China every 45 days and stays there for about 10 days to sign contract with dealers and import Chinese products into Egypt in containers,"Hassan said.
He said Egyptian cutomers tend to buy Chinese products and his busine is booming, adding that his monthly revenue is between 5,000 pounds(900 dollar) and 7,000 pounds(1270 dollars), much higher than the average Egyptian monthly salary of several hundred pounds.
However,Hassan said,some poor quality Chinese products are also imported by dealers seeking more profits.
"It's up to the importers to decide what quality the imported products should be,"he added.
Besides the above electronic components, made-in-China shoes, clothes and kitchenware, as well as cases, bags and children's toys, are very common in the daily life of Egyptians, some of whom joke that they are wrapped in Chinese products from head to feet.
Furthermore,some Chinese businessmen have planned to set up a big mall especially for Chinese products in a district in northeastern Cairo, with the aim of encouraging more and more Chinese companies to provide the Egyptian market with products in good quality and better service.
