Based on what goes on in the RC end of Chinese aviation and other items they export, I just don't feel warm and fuzzy. I have no clue how to properly express my doubts about their ability to produce something I would want to fly in or have over my house to the powers that be.
I think you just did!
Too bad that the vast majority of Americans don't realize it was American labor egotism that led to the massive growth of Asian industry.
Nonsense! it was supply and demand. It was corporate greed. I cannot compete with $1.00 per hour which is the average income in the industrialized cities in China. Not even not paying any tax, any benefit, any insurance, anything at all can you compete with that labor rates.
Most of your common over the counter medications are coming straight from India these days. did your price go down? Of course not.
Cessna's Skycatcher is being manufactured in China. Any price benefit for us? Of course not. the selling price is the same as if they would manufacture here.
