OK finally was able to direct order from a factory in China but where? The ancient FLAME EMPEROR of CHina - that's where: Titanium stove ordered at 50% less than Western retail price

 https://jiaxinti.en.alibaba.com/?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.39b976e97WTuKe&tracelog=from_orderlist_company

There is the factory.  So this is a "sample" order: https://www.jiaxinti.com/titanium-tent-stove-camping-stove-p00174p1.html


 

They actually have a good website for direct orders! This is the first time.

I read several customer reviews but then suddenly I could not find the reviews anymore - they vanished. haha.


 

Alibaba is kind of strange that way. OK I found them again - different company?

Worst costumer's service ever. I paid 50usd for express delivery and it arrived after one month, and yet I had to pay 40 USD of taxes when arrived. During the commercial relationship the seller always answered my questions many days after insisting, then I bought it, and they sent me a wrong tracking number. Supposedly the package arrived and the app said that the transaction was over. The information said the package was in Italy instead of in Spain. After many days of claiming to the customers service without answer they gave me another tracking number. This time it was correct, and after the whole process the stove arrived one month after. About the product not many good details. It came with several scratches, and the hinge of the door was totally bended so the door was quite distorted, so I had to fix it. Yet more, they didn't sent me the exact components of the description, the chimney connection isn't the same shown in the pics. Definitely not worth it.

Yeah that is contact  Ada Zhang Huizhou Dahai Electronic Co., Ltd


 

I already tried contacting her and no luck. I ordered from a different company!

So that is the stove sell link - normally it says you have to get a minimum of 15 or 50 orders.

So stove only for $350 (including shipping costs) instead of $211

 So $140 savings!!

 So the factory video has the dude cooking SHIITAKE SHROOMS on the stove! It's fate!! haha.

Video of the stove - it's a "big deal" in the camping scene.

 So I also ordered an accessory through the more expensive "AliExpress" - since not sure the factory direct would send that. But I probably could have ordered it separately through the factory website. But no need to confuse them. haha. That was $15 but it's a spark arrester on top of the chimney that also have three rings to tie off the stove pipe so it doesn't fall off the stove during strong winds...

AliExpress sells the stove for $280 so that is 25% more increase in price.

OK here is the actual factory website

 So I don't see the stove but they do say you can order directly from the factory

 OH so the factory is right by X'ian the ancient capitol of China - and the Emperor's tomb is nearby!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yan_Emperor

While Yandi remains shrouded in mythological history, some Chinese histories begin with the reign of Huangdi, the Yellow Emperor, and his defeat of Yandi. This defeat lead to the consolidation of various Chinese tribes, and ultimately to a more cohesive China that would bear the fruits of modern Chinese civilization. The legacy of these two great rulers lives on in modern-day Chinese culture.

 Wow - new to me.

I didn't know there was an emperor BEFORE the Yellow Emperor!


Ah so he's also called Shennong Yan Emperor - bringing plowing

Shennong also features in the book popularly known in English as I Ching. Here, he is referenced as coming to power after the end of the house (or reign) of Paoxi (Fu Xi), also inventing a bent-wood plow, a cut-wood rake, teaching these skills to others, and establishing a noonday market.

 Shennong first tasted it, traditionally in ca. 2437 BC, from tea leaves on burning tea twigs, after they were carried up from the fire by the hot air, landing in his cauldron of boiling water.[15] Shennong is venerated as the Father of Chinese medicine. He is also believed to have introduced the technique of acupuncture.

 It has long been debated whether Yandi is the same person as the legendary god-emperor Shennong. The connection comes from the title of Yandi or “flame emperor,” which is used to describe both of these figures. It has been suggested that the title of Yandi was given to Shennong posthumously, but on the other hand, there seems to be a consensus that these two were one in the same. The two tend to be conflated due to the inventions and accomplishments attributed to them. For example, both have been linked to the introduction of fire as a land clearing technique in Chinese agriculture. However, there is a middle ground in this debate which states that Yandi could more correctly be translated as “flame emperors,” with emphasis on the plural. This suggests that there was a succession of flame emperors with Shennong being the first, until the final Yandi met defeat at the hands of the “Yellow Emperor.”

 Communism puts science first. Capitalism is based on the "religion" of God and the Free Market and Slavery - from feudalism. I do not idealize China. The Ecological Crisis is way beyond adaptation. The East Siberian Arctic Shelf methane bomb has started to go off already - as the UK Guardian reported. US corporations are heavily part of the economic trajectory of China. Kissinger is tight with the Petroleum national China relations. Skull and Bones of Henry Luce even promoted Mao also through the Soong Dynasty. So I do agree that Chinese culture is long based on strong trading relations - as the discovered global shipping exploration before Columbus - has documented. Somalia used to trade textiles with China way back in the day. 

The US grew out of British Imperialism which had to destroy the huge textile industries of India and Egypt, as Noam Chomsky documents in his book "Year 501: The Conquest Continues." So China is now Westernized via Marxism and State Capitalism from US corporations. But the overall trajectory of Westernization is not adaptation - on the contrary - the Westernization of Earth, based on Platonic philosophy, has caused Biological Annhilation - with 50% of wild life having been killed off in population numbers. So with abrupt global warming and Aerosol Masking Effect - it means that abrupt global warming is LOCKED IN and accelerating in speed as http://arctic-news.blogspot.com 

So yeah the dynamic growth of China is stunning but it's dependent on global "primitive accumulation." For example Cargill's destruction of the Amazon rainforest and Pantanal - world's largest wetland - is so China can buy Monsanto Soybeans that Cargill exports via ILLEGAL soy storage elevators in the Amazon rainforest. The equatorial rainforest is the mind of Earth with over 50% of Earth's ecology and biodiversity but China is giving out FREE CHAINSAWS to Africans so they can export virgin rainforest that has been raped. As Professor David F. Noble documented in his excellent book, "The Religion of Technology" - Marx praised the "edenic respites" of technology. And so China is no different in that regard despite its Eastern philosophy origins.
