[TowerTalk] Magnetic 304 SS- Huh?

[David Robbins]

indeed, the 300 series should not be magnetic...
here a couple of many explanations available with a google search:

Guys,

I purchased a roll of 3/16" SS wire rope which was clearly labeled
304SS from Home Depot.

When I got home, I tested it with a magnet. It was highly attractive.
It gets returned.

I know there are some kinds of SS which show magnetism.

I think the explanation is "made in China" rather than some magical 
change in SS 304 properties as it crosses the Pacific.

Am I wrong?
