Do I put the blame on China, NO. I put it on all of us. I need the part or item, "FAST", I need it inexpensive, I don't want to work in a factory and as a supplier, I don't want it to last, so I can sell them another. China has it down to a science. Have noticed, just when the warranty runs out, the item does also. What frigthens me is, what are they adding to our products that can be used against us, as nations in conflict.
