Thank you for you understanding.

In all fairness, the asian person is smaller and weighs alot less. So 15 hp may well get that mini-spyder up and moving. And have you seen the traffic over there, they can't drive over 50 mph anyway.

So, if we have any kids out there that need a really cool toy, thank-you China. "Just make sure the paint doesn't have any lead in it "

in all fairness not all asians are small

From the old days riding the Islands.

Many years ago while on a small Honda some Japaneese riders introduced me to Sumo matches. I collected a few hand prints but never followed the sport after I left. A couple of years later I gifted the collection to the ten year old son of a club owner in Sasebo. From that day on every port visit I would receive a plate of Geoza and a free glass of beer when we hit town.

In my recent experience, the line "Made in China" has been mostly synonymous with cheap, throwaway products. I know that they can and do make excellent quality stuff but they also make a lot of the cheapest (price and quality) things right now. Now that a lot of manufacturers are going for the cheapest parts they can buy to maximize profits, we are seeing inferior parts that are "Made in China". Once China's build standards are up across the board or manufacturers decide that they aren't making money buying the cheapest parts, then the "Made in China" tag won't be associated with poor quality.

I don't have a problem with anybodiy's goods, provided they are well made, and you can get parts. It can be difficult to tell well made with the imports until it is either too late and yours busted, or until they have been around a while and there is some user experience to rely on. As to parts, most are non-existant for the majority of the Chinese imports right now for example. There are a few exceptions.

I do have problems with a number of things, though. Fiirst, reverse engineering. It is not right for a company to take a product somebody else engineered and manufactured, dismantle it, and copy the dimensions and technology. I won't buy a knock-off of a Honda 90 engine, for instance. Second, I do not believe in supporting any country that dumps their products on our shores, sometimes selling at or below cost, while placing stiff restrictions on American goods. Fair is fair! Finally, I don't feel any of us should buy from a nation that allows bad environmental and safety practices to continue, just so they can manufacture and sell their goods cheaply. If a country allows a manufacturer to pollute the air freely, yet we try to control our emissions, how can we compete? Only by refusing to buy the cheap goods from the places without environmental and safety restrictions. There are plenty of quality goods from a number of foreign countries. Someday the rest of the countries may catch up. Until then, I will scrutinize my purchases carefully.
