How do you feel about Chinese made gear?
I stay away from Chinese made landfill. To each his own.
You don't have a cellphone, then?
Whilst on the topic of Chinese made landfill thou, dmaziuk. I do my best to stay away from it, both for national and moral reasons.
Walmart is China’s personal US outlet store.
TSMC is in Taiwan, Samsung in Korea. Micron has production in Boise and Salt Lake. Intel produces in Silicon Valley, Portland, Chandler, Rio Rancho. Fujifilm, one of the largest makes of CMP chemicals produced in Chandler. Some of these companies also have plants in China as well of course but in a nutshell, you are wrong.Good thing I'm an amoral bloody migrant, then: 100% of my dive gear is paid for by money made by working on computers whose components have been all made in China ever since Silicone Valley made the planet's top 10 most poisoned locales and they started relocating all that environmentally bad stuff out of sight.
I grant you, some of e.g. SK Hynix RAM may have come from their Korean plants and not their Chinese plants... so maybe not all made in China, only almost all.
