I personally don't see a problem with goods that are manufactured in Asia , as it's still the same product at the end of the day, but what I don't like is when English/American companies outsource their telephone systems to Asia. The people on the other end often have no clue what you are talking about.
You'd probably reconsider your stance after seeing Chinese factory workers' conditions.

I'm pleased to tell you it works exactly the opposite way of how you describe. You really wouldn't want Chinese authoritarian «communist-capitalism» applied to American manufacturing plants. Rather, Chinese wealth will accumulate over time, leading to increased prices.
