This started in the mid 60s when auto makers outsourced parts. Only problem was the assembly hardware was metric. First use dumbasses didn't refuse to buy this junk that you need whole set of wrenches to to now work on your car. NO problem 98% could find the dipstick anyway let alone know what it was used for.

The few politicians got grease, the EPA, and ceo's figured out they could reduce workers and increase profits with foreign slave labor. This was the end to the American blue collar work that nobody gives **** about, cause they were the reason dirtbag politicians and CEOs were not getting 7 figure pay checks. So the Lobbists greased some good old boys and this what we got.

Now some companies are regretting doing business with China due to they do NOT recognize international trade make or patent laws. So you can give 1500 for ping golf clubs thinking your getting best Shyt, but the Chinese use the same forges, metals, and forms make knock-off and change one letter in the name or make up name and sell the on the world market for 70% off the trade mark price. They the Chinese created the gray market. Anything they make they counterfeit it.

But, the CEOs still make there millions in bonuses they good old boys still getting greased and the backbone of once great nation has most of its spine removed.

All for dollar, now it's too late, nothing is truly made in the American. Look around your house, appliances, vehicles, clothes, furniture, dishes, food, tools, ECT...

You know at the turn of the 20th century China couldn't even cast/forge hoes and rakes. We taught them how to mast produce, Chinese are the smartest people on the planet. They don't give there money away, the control their destiny . They are the super power with out them the rest of the world is third world county.

Who's to blame? Look in the mirror!
