Some Chinese lanterns are poor quality

Chinese Lanterns are becoming more and more popular in Vietnam ahead of Golden Week. They are much stronger and easier to import than Vietnamese lanterns. Small businesses are having financial difficulty because of the lack of demand. It is viable for us to send lanterns to Vietnam by air mail if people there would like to buy our product. It is however helpful to purchase things made in your native country to support the economy. Many department stores have stopped selling the Vietnamese lanterns even though politicians have put money into a campaign to promote the buying of local goods. We have many products made in Vietnam on our shelves because they are cheap to buy.
