Skye,
You are missing the point.
Yes we can get everything made in china and quality would maybe be okish.
But the fact its made in Japan makes it special. What if Ferrari was getting made in China? Maybe it would make more sales but would lose the essence of what the product is.
Also I don't mind you being insulted by my beliefs and opinions but calling people names is offensive.
Don't forget that many big name companies including Tamiya, and big electronic companies have gone to China with great products to be made cheaper for the masses only to find copies of part or all the components being made and sold under different brands. like the recent Apple v Samsung lawsuits.
China is cheap but has no respect for privacy and copyright, they just copy. some companies make good quality products many do not. You have to keep very tight QA to assure of this. Japan is a country that has strong belief and Honour, something rare in todays fight for sales. I just hope these Chinese copys of French Nuclear plants being installed into uk are better quality than many things coming this way. or maybe its a way for China to put Nuclear Bombs in the UK???
