Stillone Your gear appears to be made mainly in the U.S.A. but appears you have some interest in outsourcing jobs.

I take it you have never spent any time in China so I assume you have no first hand knowledge of what it is like there or in their manufacturing plants. Yes you can find terrible work environments all over the place, but they are disappearing at an astounding pace. Most of the plants that are producing mainstream products for export to Japan, the US and Europe (small electronics, auto parts, etc) are all ISO certified and have safe work environments. If they are partnered with a US or European company they don't hire people under 18. They are provided meals and many with transportation to and from work.

No they do not have all of the freedom we do here and we should be very thankful, but they have a lot more than 10 years ago.
