Some of us are old enough to remember that after WWII the stuff imported from Japan was all junk. Now days some of the best stuff on the market is made in Japan. I suspect the same will happen with China given enough time and a demand for higher quality products from consumers here. But as long as we continue to buy the cheapest stuff we can find at Walmart (rather than shopping for best-quality-for-the-dollar) it will take a long time for that to happen. In the meantime our buying habits will continue to place pressure on quality manufacturers (here and elsewhere) making it hard for them to survive.
I doubt any are old enough to remember that around the turn of the last century, the stuff made in the U.S. was lacking any quality controls, and that employees were paid non-living wages.
Rather than ranting on a forum and crying "buy American", maybe go out and do something pro-active. That's how things changed in this country - because people cared enough to actually do something to force the change instead of sitting on their couches spouting rhetoric.
