True, but now more than half the time we have no choice, because of the decisions we and the greedy companies made in the past. I and many other other people like to blame china, because it's more fun that way, but I have seen and handled very high quality Chinese or Taiwanese made products before and they are not cheap, more like very expensive. But when we are buying something from the big common companies that we have been dealing with for decades, buying new car parts today is a dice roll sometimes.
