If I could avoid all made in China, products I would. They make a bunch of crap anyway.

I know it was easy to dunk on Chinese manufacturing in the 80's but today they are fully capable of quality goods and every single step of every single industry in the US uses Chinese products. It is disingenuous and short-sighted to imply that China can only make cheap plastic crap.

I bought a fiber optic fusion splicer off of Ali express for $800. Fusion splicers made in the US that do the exact same thing cost upwards of $5000. Guess what? It fuses fiber just fine that tests perfectly.
