That seems to be a generic statement vs an answer. Got any real proof to that statement.

By the way, Taiwan, is Nationalist China and not a Communist Country. One of the most Democratic Countries out there.
That happened on December 8, 1949 https://www.history.com/this-day-in-...ital-to-taiwan

Are you thinking that Toshiba is not a Japan-based company, or that the To****ba computer I bought didn't come in a box that said "Made In China" on it?

Yes, the legitimate government of China fled to Taiwan when Mao was making noise about revolution. The legitimate government of China is the government of Taiwan, as far as I'm concerned...but the UN and the various member countries have other ideas, and none of them asked my permission.

There are good products coming out of Taiwan, and bad products, same deal for Japan.
My company basically pulled out of Japan, removed all dealerships) as no one was buying the cars. Have no love for Mao or the rest of the Mainline China games.
But I have met very good Engineers that originally were born in Mainline China.
These people were Turbo Engineers. You personally bring a lot to the game, Schurkey, as do others. Trolls do not.

Trolls are everywhere, as you said Cliff. Look for attention based on how bold they think that they are.

Many of my parts vendors have sent me letters and e-mails "explaining" why the price of their products will be going up or has gone up. Of course they claim it's all about the tariffs. To me, it very much like all the trucking and shipping companies tacking on crazy surcharges and raising rates dramatically when gas prices went to $4.00 a gallon 5 years ago. Gas here is now right at $2.00 a gallon and has been under $2.50 for years. Did any of those surcharges and crazy rate hikes go back to normal? Of course not. When the tariffs are eventually lifted, don't expect anything to go down in price. The inflated prices are here to stay. You will just be paying more for the same Chinese junk.
