The same line of thinking prevailed when I was a kid about Japanese stuff.
No matter what, the almighty dollar will always win.
Today's generation is fine with China, and production wise, it appears to me China is eating our lunch in many areas.
Best to build a better mousetrap first.
No nation remains #1 forever, success breeds complacency, always has, always will, there are plenty of examples of this thru out history, and few care to learn those lessons.
They better be learning them now. The Japanese haven't been an enemy since 1945. And their stuff was never as trashy as the Chicom junk. China has been at war with us for years and we're too stupid and ignorant to realize it.
Better mousetrap? NOTHING made in China is as good as what was being made in America even years ago. Look around at what giving it all to China has brought us.
Speaking of stuff made in Asia... Remember Lucky Goldstar... the company that made those crappy $59 TV's & VCR's in the 80's. Today they are "LG"...(Life's Good) in what is probably the most successful example of "Re-branding" in the history of the world. Very few young people have any idea what junk they made years ago... and now homes are filled with LG branded stuff. TV's, Washer's, Drier's, Stereo's, Stove's, Microwave's, Fridge's, Phone's... most of which are all able to communicate back to the South Korea via WiFi "for repair diagnostic service"
Oh and the 50k Covid-19 deaths... Don't forget the CDC went back to beginning of April and added in all of the Pneumonia Deaths as possible Covid... That's when the numbers really spiked... but how many really died of covid and how many would have died anyway from pneumonia... because most of the additions were old timers. Flu-Pneumonia in 2017-18 was still in the 60-80k range... depending on whether or not you go by "Season" or full "52week" period. Many of those were the young and healthy, not just the old & weak, and still the country wasn't shut down.
