Nepal's Chinese goods are a byword for inferior quality and known to go out of order in record time. Yet they continue to dominate the market as they are fiercely competitive, which they can afford to since they do not pay any taxes either in China or Nepal.

Nepali manufacturers complain that the flood of cheap Chinese goods is pushing them out of business. Though the Nepal government this month directed that all foreign goods being sold in Nepal must bear labels clearly indicating the expiry date and other details in the local languages, Chinese goods continue to circulate in the market with labels incomprehensible to the average buyer.

Last week, toy giant Mattel had to recall millions of Chinese-made toys after safety fears over small magnets used in some and about paint containing high levels of toxic lead in others.
