Simon, <br /> <br />Maybe I didn't write that clearly. A previous post talked about how China is making tons of money from us and then capture one of our military planes and alleges that it is spying. I meant to say . . . no one is holding a gun to China's head and focing them to make stuff. Why are they? Because the profit margin can be higher to the manufacturer (and not just the brass . . but the stockholders also) even if the cost to the consumer is the same (or even lower). I do think, though that stuff made overseas does at time lead to lower costs to the consumer. How much a handmade brass engine cost the consumer if it were made in the U.S.? I dare say it would be more expensive than one made in China/Korea etc. <br /> <br />Also - I didn't know that New Balance were made in America. Of course what would their prices be if they advertised as much as Nike etc?
