I've recently noticed that more and more products in the US market are manufactured in China. For example, I bought a new Tahoe last week and was shopping for some 20" wheels and found that a large percentage of them are made in China (even American Racing) and are very cheaply assembled. I bought American Eagle (made in California).
This has been good for China. They now import oil. They used to be an oil exporter but more and more regular folks drive cars. That's the main reason why gas in $2.50 a gallon here.
Where I realize that it is now a world economy, and I'm not oppsed to buying products manufactured elsewhere (I own a Dell, KTM, Yamaha, Mitsubishi) I have decided that whenever possible, I will avoid buying products from China for the following reasons:
With the possible exception of pot stickers there is nothing made there that isn't made better elsewhere.
Those motorcyles (Yamoto) and quads are absolute junk.
Tools, again garbage.
Aftermarket automotive speed and autobody parts, crap.
Their products line the shelves at Walmart.
They still have hundreds of people in prison that were protesting for more liberties at Tianamen Square 17 years ago.
