All products in the world are made somewhere ... And government regulations ask manufacturers to stay where it is made on their products. Nowadays, you can assume almost all consumer products to be made in China. That is how China became the power house in the world economy. China has used its huge population (5 time the USA) and it's cheap labor to took almost all manufacturing jobs from the world.
It used to be (still true in some cases) that MADE IN CHINA meant the chip but low quality products with no innovative technology, however China has learn to be more high tech and innovative them what we think. China may have stolen many Western technologies, but they have gain a lot of technologies and starting to rival some other countries.
Some say they stole the technologies but the fact is we in many cases gave them away by allowing them to manufacture products. They do not need to steel technology by steam the blueprints, all they have to do was to work on the products and gain the knowledges. So by allowing Chinese workers to work on the products, we just gave away the technologies.
China is obsessed with gaining technology and turn it into a business. They are very good at that. And the Governemnt does allow Chinese people to copy and imitate products. If you really think about it, without China over 90% any products you see will not be available in the USA. I don't think we can afford that, can we?
We need to bring back manufacturing from China, if we want to compete with China. Are we doing that? I hope we are.
