My blunt opinion of Chinese counterfeit & rip-off parts, tools, etc, and the "business people" (scabs & bottom feeders) in this country that create and cause all of this trash to be made, will have to remain unsaid, lest I be banned.
Suffice to say, none of it comes into my shop and the people who have a positive opinion of it have their judgement questioned.
If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

If its a new item and is bad, its very evil. If its a good product its embraced over time.
Our off shore cranks, rods, all the guys now with there cnc company logo, all the oem pistons made outside.
Gotta find a balance and not a selective one imo.
Cant get into our dependency on china on so many other fronts. Well maybe like electronics and what I find real spooky is the amount of the meds some take come from china,
I think they could really put the hurt on is in some ways.
STOP POTATO HATE!

Selling like hotcakes, but the reviews so far are not impressive
Source of reviews?

As far as cheap Chinese goods, how many times do we see: "What's the cheapest XXXX ?" Another example: the size & profitability of WalMart... Bottom line is we pretty much have ourselves as a society to blame, with the caveat that prices for goods have outpaced wages, which is in a way a vicious circle. Cheap offshore stuff = shrinking domestic production = weaker domestic wages = opportunity for cut-rate goods (and services).
Ding ding ding , give this man a cigar Ive always said, You want Cheap , Fast , Right. Pick 1 you cant have all 3

That carburetor is chump change. Anyone who is paying attention to China has some idea (just some) of what it is doing, what it has its hands in and what it is building up to be able to do. They are not our friends.
But I needs my cheap crap.

Very scary part is a majority of our medications are made there. That needs to STOP NOW! Think about all the scenarios.....

There's an IDIOT on the site that gave it 5 stars then states he hasn't taken it out of the box or looked at it.

That's true, but think about what would happen to the price of medications if we brought all the production back to the US. People scream and cry about the cost of meds as it is... That's the rub with "made in the USA" you can't have your cake and eat it too.

It’s funny listening to guys be-itch about others buying imports as they post from there Chinese computers and cell phones. Then they warm up lunch in their Chinese microwave and watch their Chinese 200.00 TV sets. Then they go take a dump in their Chinese toilet and an afternoon nap in their Chinese bed. Hmmmm.
