Yes, China continues their production of products. Getting your ham license is definitely the way to go.

Amateur radios used to be expensive, but the Chinese have forced prices to stabilize or even drop slightly. Most of the big name radios were built in Japan (with Chinese made parts) but cost a pretty penny. About 15 years ago, I bought a Yaesu 2400 2m for $300. The equivalent model now is less than $200. Prices are CDN.

I just ordered this. All in, it was $670 CDN. It's an Xiegu G90 20 Watt SDR HF Radio. QST gave it a good rating. It's compact size and low current draw make it an attractive option for an HF radio. It is a 10-160 meter rig.
