"Made in China" is not the same as "cheap chinese yum-cha". In fact as a manufacturing prof. I can assure you some of the worlds best manufacturing facilities are located in China.

All IBM laptops/PC's where made by a Chinese company - Lenovo. Last quarter IBM announced that it's getting out of the PC businees alltogether. Lenovo just bought majority stock in IBM's PC business last month.

Mitsubishi plans on closing Australian operations (in Adelaide) and moving to China. Toyota Melbourne will follow soon. This was once of main influencing factors when I left (for good) Oz this year.

Chinese manufacturing is taking over the globe. Last year I saw this HUGE glorious Australian flag at the Melbourne Arts Centre with the words "MADE IN CHINA" printed across it.
