The article gets into some of the recalls and the list is telling, bikes whose wheels break, seat belts that break, and on and on.
When I see made in China I cringe. We bought a phone set from Radio Shack this last weekend. The made in China products did not even work coming out of the box. Radio Shack was fortunately good about accepting the return, but its still frustrating leg work. They also confirmed that the stuff was defective. I browsed the internet for reviews of the original phone set and saw "half a star, one star, this is junk," etc etc. My bad for shopping without researching properly.
McClatchy: China makes most faulty U.S. goods, but penalties are rare
Chinese manufacturers made more than half of the goods that the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recalled last year, but few of them paid any price for producing defective wares.
Yet many Chinese manufacturers also evade trial in the U.S. simply by persuading judges that their companies had no substantial business presence in the states in which they've been sued.
Roughly 40 percent of imported U.S. consumer goods are from China.

Why does anyone wonder why their is no work anymore in America? It's all been sent offshore by our Patriotic Big Corps. America doesn't mean squat to these bastards, it's just another market to sell their Chinese made shit. These by the way are the same guys that fund both parties to keep this idea of so called free trade going.
The data must show that there's more money is selling cheap crap than in quality merchandise.
Its interesting because the jobs are going away and the quality of the merchandise coming back is worse and worse. Its like the overall interest is in cheapening the fabric of the society, coming and going.
The GOPers want a 2 class society.
