What I am saying is the "Well GM uses parts made in China" argument is not relevent because those suppliers design their own stuff, are often US owned, and are held to very high standard. There is a big difference between a US company designing their stuff in the US, and then making the stuff overseas (often in a US owned...managed factory) and what is going on with the ebay header stuff. If a company is willing to steal someone else's design, you can't expect everything else is held to any kind of standard.
My argument here has never been about Walmart stuff being made in China. Unfortunatly, most American's are not willing to pay what it would cost to make their $10 Walmart clock radio in the US. It is more rooted in the wrongness of people buying blatent, inferior knock offs and acting like they got a deal. No sponsor here can thrive if the second that they made a product, there was a Chinese knock off on the market at a 3rd the price.
