Lol don't be that average person who thinks chinese products are sh it ! 

Chinese products are one of the best TBH or at par with others. I love my vivo phone , didn't knew it was chinese. Was shocked to know lenovo laptop is chinese too. I travel daily in rolling stock provided by chinese rail company. Its wonderful and 100 times better than indian ones. 

I just have a problem with those "dragon" kirpans and also them cutting in livelihood of our sikhs.

Yes, some entrepreneurial nous coupled with a desire to preserve our religious heritage would've been the perfect opportunity for a Sikh family back home to create a thriving business.

I think the biggest issue today is that kirpans to most people, including many sikhs , seem to be an outdated relic of glory sikh past. Apart from grooms using it during weddings, or during bhog, we don't seem to use it. For defense, guns are easier to use . 

How do we justify kirpans in present context worldwide ? We see italy banned kirpans .

In a court case, what are you going to say to "why do you carry that dagger ?" when the judge looks at you with a suspicion on his face and most of the cow liberal left or intolerant right don't like it . 

You say its welded into the sheath , or you wear a very small one (that would make aurangzeb laugh in the grave) , then the question beggers "Why are you even wearing it ? whats the point?". If you don't weld or wear small one , then how do you justify that you can use it to attack someone with it if need be. 

I see kirpans in future becoming very complicated case.

In america its pretty justifiable considering every 8 out of 10 people there carry arms there lol. Even NRA might stand for u lol

Sgpc could have partnered or acquired the business.

State & Central governments too can help under small scale industry schemes.

And if it became successful, Badal would've sent the heavies around to "encourage" the owners to sell their business to him, lol.
