You might want to wake up out of your "slumber" and come to the realization that we're talking about the COMMUNIST CHINESE!!! What part of this doesn't register with you? Last time I checked Germany was an ally of ours, and not an enemy. We "persuaded" them back in 1945. Doug

Based on my vast life experience, I can say with a high degree of certainty that products produced by Germany in my lifetime are significantly above average in terms of quality. My Mercedes is without a doubt the best car I have ever owned. My best DT saw is made in Germany (  ). from tools to home appliances to cars to steel, they know how to make good products. So, having had this sort of experience, I can and often do assume that if its German made its probably either good or very good (theres that DT saw again ). There are some cultures that rise to the top in terms of producing goods in the free market. Other cultures exhibit their own strengths and weaknesses. No sin to acknowledge these differences.

I buy all kinds of stuff made in China, and pay Made in China prices. I buy stuff at HF and pay HF prices.
To buy Made in China BCT stuff at American BCT prices? No way! I do care where a tool was made, and look at the asking price to assess if the price is reasonable. The cost bases are different among origins (wages, environmental costs, etc.).

The word "Delusional" comes to mind. There is professional help available. BTW, when you purposely stir up the hornet's nest, don't expect the hornets to fly away. Doug

People living in a place ruled by dictators all (appear to) get along. That's why.
