Like most of you guys, I'd prefer to avoid Chinese products, but the market is and has been saturated with their stuff for 25 years. But I figure what the hell, if I NEED pipe fittings, widgets, or whatever, I'll buy what is available. Of course if there is a choice, I'll look for the 'made in USA' sticker and gladly pay for it. If a 150 million of us, just changed a few things about our buying habits...cumulatively, that makes a pretty large dent in the Chinese gross income. More importantly, it sends a message to the marketing whizz kids here that track buying trends of the American consumer. As far as recreational equipment, optics and stuff, I'll hold off buying as long as I can, and I'm pretty firm on my stance.
