China still uses Steam fairly regularly.
"The SY is one of the few steam locomotives still found in active service in the 21st Century, mostly working in coal and steel industries but can also be found heading commuter trains from time to time. The last steam locomotive built in China is SY1772, completed in 1999. The SY class were also among the few Chinese steam locomotives to be exported. In 1989 and 1991, three SYs were constructed for tourist railroads in the United States, SY1647m for the Valley Railroad, SY1658m for the Knox and Kane Railroad were built in 1989 with a third being built in 1991 for the New York, Susquehanna and Western Railway. This third one was lost at sea during shipment in the Indian Ocean when the ship it was on sunk.""
Modelling HO Scale with a focus on the West and Midwest USA
Well, I'll be danged.. If thats not the best export out of China there's ever been, then I'll be a monkeys uncle.
Now to bed & some decent transport dreams.

BATMAN I would not be surprised if the lids, seals and jars were all made in a third world country (maybe China) and imported into the U.S. where they were married together as a finished product. Thus enabling the made in U.S.A. lable. The lids on both jars look much the same.

The jars are completely different. The lids are thicker with the correct seal. The jars are even different. They are just like the old made in the US jars.
Chuck - Modeling in HO scale and anything narrow gauge
In response to the O.P.: Badger, if you're reading this, the foam inserts are pretty much useless. I've also had them dissolve and fall into the paint, leaving no seal so the paint dries in the jar. When I've used them with acrylic paint they stick to the top of the jar and have to be scraped off with a razor blade. The cardboard ones with the glossy surface work the best. Sorry, I'm a Model Railroader, pleading the 5th on "Made in China" argument.
Mine doesn't move.......it's at the station!!!
