I agree. A friend(?) recently painted a broad, very negative brush about 
Chinese workers, their working “culture," and the products they produce. I 
responded to him, saying that I guess you’ve not recently looked through any of 
their fine telescopes made for the amateur astronomy market, or used Nikon 
camera lenses currently made in China. Yes, we do tend to bash products made in 
China, but many are plenty good. Remember in the 50’s and 60’s we used to joke 
about products labeled “Made in Japan”?
