My friend who is part owner of a software company here in Hamilton joined this startup 20 years ago and was offered an equity position. This has grown to a firm of 50 employees and they export their goods worldwide. He took a chance and prospered.  They have not been mentioned by any national media outlets or have ever seeked it out.

Yes I despise the Chinese invasion, from cheaply make products, to their atrocious environmental record, to their human and animal absense of rights.  Google CHinese fur farms then get back to me....OK.

FYI I  owned a small importing business for 20 plus years dealing with Europeans companies and have had to compete with Chinese companies. Sadly I saw some of my compeitiors fall from counterfeit Chinese products even after winning court battles.  Hard to compete with a country with a near zero record on the environmne and more.

Nevertheless, what this woman did deserves applause.....just dont put her on a mantle with a medal draped around her neck..
