In Reply to: Why care if it's made in China? posted by gusser on September 16, 2016 at 12:53:05:
Every country has their share of quality and junk products.IIRC, the reason Japanese cars were able to flood the market in the early 70s was due to the poor quality of lower priced American cars.
And as far as this forum goes, remember that early American consumer transistor products were high unreliable compared to the Japanese. That's another long story as to why but it's basically because the Japanese embraced transistor technology for consumer products long before the Americans. They had more application experience with then fragile transistors in an uncontrolled residential environment. Where as the USA previously only used transistors in military and industrial applications.
I certainly agree a lot of sub standard electronic components come out of China. But let's not apply that across the board. I like to research and evaluate products manufacture by manufacture.
P.S. I am not Asian either. I am American of German decent. So this is not a race issue at all. I just want good quality at a good price. I really don't care who makes it.
