I hate that simplistic view.. It’s not a question of quality or racism; god bless Taiwan and what they did for the bicycle! There’s the question of loyalty and a recognistion that a real wealth creating economy is one based on manufacturing and not pretend and fraudulent and morally reprehensible trading, repugnant reserve ratios and multiple hypothecations, for the likes of a select few at companies like Goldman Sachs.
It’s a nice thing to buy something made in your country. It’s also the reason we have become poor and are becoming poorer. Banking doesn’t reward enough people, and retail just pays kid’s wages. Manufacturing is wealth creation and society building…
Rant over.
