I remember seeing something on the news about one of the asian countries creating a city called USA so that everything manufactured there could legally carry a Made in USA label. Neato huh?

It's about profit. They're cranking stuff out for next to nothing to meet Wall St. expectations. And if some of you have hefty portfolios, are you going to look at the bottom line? Or are you going to question what they did to get there?
I will say, though, that even in SE Asia, people have a saying: If it breaks, it's made in China, if it lasts, it's made in Japan. |

I just bought some dishes, made in USA (corningware). Just got a large surplus ALICE pack, I assume that is made in the USA. I try, but it is getting harder to find US made products :(

Do you think Klinton had anything to do with all those Chinese imports on our shelves, he loved their money? NAFTA, GATT, WTO, FAST TRACK legislation, he and the Republicans pushed all that shit through congress. Isn't China about to get MFN status? Between our dollars and secrets they have improved their military quite a bit.

It is now a general concensous in the US govenment that our military no longer needs to be able to fight a "two major front war." If there's going to be an end of the word it will be caused by the Chinese and the US going toe to toe. |

I threw most of the stuff in my apt that says "Made in China" out. The only things left are the leather jacker my mom gave me for my birthday (thats not going anywhere), my joystick, and coffee machine. Thats it. I wont buy any more of their shit either. (well, except for that Norinco NHM-91 [:)])
