THE CHINESE ARE CHEATERS! They purposely keep the value of the yen down making it more economical to produce there. It's not fair to other countries whose Cost of doing business is way higher than theirs.
I can't believe it's more economical to have a valve made in China and shipped all the way over here and still be less expensive than an american made valve. Have you considered all the wasted fuel that consumes? Just because it cost less is it really a smarter choice?
I live in the US and I tend to give more weight to products made here. Why? because The thought of somebody losing their job or a factory closing down as a result of me saving 10 bucks makes me crazy. I'd rather spend the extra 10 and keep the money within my borders.
I love this country and it's a shame to see how much influence a corporation can have on it by lobbying and campaign contributions. It makes me sick to my stomach.
Right, just like how America cheated by dropping a nuke on Japan before anyone else had a nuke
I find it funny when people complain about this or that cheating or is unfair, I would think people would know by now that the world is unfair. There is no rule stating you have to play by America's rules, or you must follow WTC. It's a free world, literally. You don't like it? You can go to war. If you really want them to obey your rule then put some tanks infront of their house.
Sustainability is really a critical issue in supply chain now, wasted fuel is a major concern specially with fuel costs.... however supply chain is becoming more efficient and moving back to USA is one of the options as well.
But you have to think, if you rather paid extra 10 bucks for tooth paste produced in USA, 3 bucks for tooth brush, 5 bucks for shirts, 50 bucks for tv, I highly doubt you will have any income left for vacation :smx2: The cost saving world of corporations have benefited you more than you know.
