Probably China, like many things, especially small ornaments such as this. Most likely in slave labor conditions (which are comparable to those of Nazi Germany). However, not all are made in China. I understand that "in 2012 most New Zealand poppies were made in China and manufactured in Australia." - http://www.nzhistory.net.nz/war/anzac-day/poppies I'm no expert on the details here. But I do know that China has a bad track record for using slave labor to produce products, including those for overseas export.
oh it would be hard to say but probably like millions of poppies. Around 40 million poppies are sold each year.
Well, honey, poppies are a big deal in World War 1 because they became a symbol of remembrance for those who died in the war. The red poppies grew in abundance on the battlefields of Flanders, where many soldiers lost their lives. So, people started wearing poppies as a way to honor and remember the fallen soldiers. Simple as that, darling.
I'm assuming that what you meant to ask was: "Why are poppies used as a symbol of Remembrance Day and the horrors of the Great War"? Poppies are special, botanically, in that they usually only bloom on 'disturbed ground'. The bombed and shelled battlefields were churned many times over by shellfire and explosions. when the battles subsided, especially in Belgium, poppies bloomed in abundance marking the thousands of killed soldiers who had been sacrificed on, what many feel, were futile and politically invalid pursuits.

People typically give out poppies during the weeks leading up to Remembrance Day, observed on November 11th in many countries, including the UK and Canada. The poppy is a symbol of remembrance for those who have died in military service, inspired by the poem "In Flanders Fields." Donations are often collected for veterans' charities during this time, and the red poppy serves as a visual reminder of sacrifice and the importance of peace.
The red (petals) represents the blood that was spilt and the green (leaves) represents the green fields of France, which was formerly "No Man's Land" in World War One. The leaf is also positioned in the "11-o'clock" position on the clock, to symbolise the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month (when Armistice was signed).Poppies are visible on of the former European battlefields, as poppies naturally grow in disturbed earth in Europe. So they were seen as a fitting tribute as the poppies rise up where many men have fallen on the fields.Recommended book:Great Events: Remembrance Day by Gillian Clements

It is usually referred to as a Poppy, from world war 2, because Canada had lost many soldiers during that time. the Poppies are the flower which grows around their graves, thus making it a symbol for their remembrance.
It is difficult to determine the exact number of poppies around the world as they are grown in many different regions and climates. Poppies are a diverse group of plants with many different species and varieties, so the total number of poppies would be in the millions.
