While this is true for some things a vast majority of American made products are far better. Go buy some Chinese made tools and see how they stand up to old craftsman, mac or snap-on tools. I have a car lift in my garage and there is no way I would have one made in china. Also, do your new appliances really last as long as the ones of past? I have had 3 consecutive Chevy trucks or suburbans that have gone over 170k miles and no problems. We as Americans have to come to believe that things should wear out and be non-fixable so they have to be replaced but they sure were cheap!


The Chinese are capable of making products to the same standards as any American company, but it depends on who is paying the contract.

GM has made every 3.4 V6 engine in China since about 2004. The entire process from forging the components to the machining to the mold of all the plastic parts, including making all the sensors is done in China. The complete engines are shipped in containers to the assembly plants in Canada or Mexico.
