Good! They all should get rid of China sourced parts!
GM had a parts supply problem after the earthquake and tsunami (Fukushima) on 3/11/2011 and they should’ve seen this one coming.
Years ago I replaced the motor mounts on my 64 with Chinese crap. Less than 10k miles they broke. I replaced them with mounts from Thailand and they’re holding up just fine. Not American made but huge a improvement over the Chinese 💩
You described “globalization” perfectly.
After COVID most companies should have supply chain disruptions as a concern. Because there sure were a lot of them.
