To circle back to my original thought, while there is indeed good stuff made in
China, there is also a lot of cheap, RFI producing crap. And there are
regulatory definitions such as “components” to deal with. But if we might be
able to persuade the right folks in Washington to do the right thing (i.e. get
serious about EMI compliance) for the “wrong” reason (i.e. to screw up Chinese
imports), it would be a very good thing.
