I probably spend thousands of dollars every year to buy products made in the West over Chinese imports. Despite US laws regarding labelling and disclosure of product origin, it's now reached the point where nearly everything I buy online has to be investigated first. That includes motorcycle parts, audio components, DSLR accessories, etc. etc. I can't even bid on eBay in many cases without first asking the seller where a particular switch or capacitor is made. It's worth the trouble to me, but the difficulty increases every year. In local stores such as Home Depot, I now frequently find tools made by companies like Bosch with no country of origin listed, and for which the retailer can find no information, even after calling the US rep. I suspect the day is coming when Western electronic components will no longer be available, or if they are, I won't be able to afford them. When that happens, I'll stop building.
