I stated my opinion that you need to consider the individual manufacturer or even the specific product line for any product from anywhere in the world.
Nobody is disputing that some real **** comes out of China, but that doesn't mean that everything that comes out of China is ****. There are product recalls from manufacturers all over the world every day.
I have my opinions on world politics, but I have the feeling you wouldn't like those either /img/vbsmilies/smilies/duck.gif
Well opinions are just that, opinions, neither of us could be right, after all we're just playing arm chair quarterback. You may be right or wrong if I agree or disagree with your view of world politics, but that's life. I happen to disagree with Chinese military politics and social politics, but ours isn't exactly the best either. In no way does that mean if I disagree I would hate you, I have friends who agree and disagree with my viewpoints just as I agree and disagree with theirs, I don't hate them nor do they hate me...if they do hate me 30+ years of friends hating one another is a bit weird!!!, but we agree and disagree with respect and not put words into each other mouths like is done on forums such as this. I guess it's easier to be disrespectful when you're not there talking person to person.
And as far as recalls, sure there coming from all over the world, but the most dangerous ones, as I pointed out, come from China and come at a high level of frequency, and do so with no regard that the product is dangerous, and in many instances China knew it was dangerous and sent the products out anyways. That's the difference between China and other countries.
You are right though, not all stuff made in China is junk, take the LED light bulb, porcelain, some microchips and mother boards, and high end vacuum tubes used in home high end electronics especially Shuguang tubes...I know this because mine come from them, and I'm sure there are other examples. Granted a lot of high end electronic technology is "borrowed" technology from other countries, but who hasn't "borrowed" technology of one sort or another? Japan did that like crazy after WW2, America didn't care, nor should we care if China does it.
By the way, my meaning of slamming was by anyone in general, not to a specific poster like yourself, but I didn't word it correctly so it definitely sounded that way, sorry. /img/vbsmilies/smilies/smile.gif
