I can confidently say that mainland Chinese manufacturers have absolutely no idea of what quality control means. It is only a matter of time before the so-called world factory implodes in smokes.

I just bought a cheap micro-wave at wal-mart for $34. The last one blew up. Quality is something you sacrifice when buying cheap crap.

If american factories are closed, then there is nothing to compare it to, and no alternative even if you are not happy with the quality. So what do you do if the only factories in the world are in asia? (you cant buy anything from a long closed boarded up non-existant factory in Ohio)
