Made in canada vs made in china

[BC Mike]

As Lazerus pointed out, check out your electronics...China, Taiwan or Korea.

You want the quick-go-easy computer?.... you are probably a Dell(the other universal computer brand after IBM decided not to bother with hardware for personal users) computer zombie...in which case, you own chinese made laptops and PCs.

What does all this BS have to do with guns?

I thought that China was embracing democracy in all it's glory only because they are so far behind they are at the stage that's about 20 years away from workers revolting and forming unions etc.

They may be twenty years behind the union part, but they are caught up to the part where after producing a good product they cut coners and produce an inferior product because they are more interested in quantity over quality. This they have also learned this from those who practiced democracy before them. Seems they are certainly beating the good ole boys at their own game.

Now I will buy made in Canada where I can if the price is right, but made in U,S,A. only where a suitable import is not found, or on used product.

Quality is up to the buyer. If the importer wants quality he pays for and gets it.

Seems to me that, in Canada, the bottom line is that we import almost everything except raw materials. The Canadian manufacturing industry has never kept up to domestic demand and is sliding ever further behind.

Perhaps the quality of Chinese-made products is inferior. In some cases, it may be the exact opposite. In the end, as Canadians we can be assured of one thing: If we don't buy it from the Chinese, we'll have to buy it from other foreign suppliers.

Personally, I have no bias for or against Chinese goods. I prefer to evaluate each item on it's own merits rather than generalizing about the quality of their products as a whole, or getting caught up in the politics (Aside: As they move towards a more open, hybrid economy, we may be going in the opposite direction.).

The few times I've handled Chinese copies of firearms models that I'm familiar with, I've found the Chinese copies inferior to those produced in other counties. THAT's why I don't buy Chinese firearms - no other reason. If they start building comparable quality to their competitors, and especially if they do it cheaper, they'll get my money.
