I can remember the same objection in the 50’s to made in Japan.

Japan wasn’t feeding us poison and selling weapons to our enemies.

I spent a lot of time griping about “made in China” labels-to absolutely no avail.

My computer,printer,digital camera,and at least half my software wears that label now ; mainly because that’s just about all you CAN buy in certain product lines.

My little 6 year old is just beginning to read and said, WHY DOES EVERYTHING SAY MADE IN CHINA?

The 50’s? Not hardly. ;)In the 50’s, “made in Japan” was relegated to a few things like cheap china found in the five and dime. Japan was *not* the major supplier of our food, clothing, appliances, automobiles, farm equipment, etc., etc. Yes, some of us can actually remember that far back. :)

You might be thinking of the 80’s?

Except not every darn thing was made in Japan then. There are many times when I am actually trying to find something not made in China, and I can’t.

Me too. I remember the term, "Japanese junk." India will be the next China. After that, who knows?
