    Default Fuck China.

    So sick of cheap chinese garbage they keep sending over here. Seems like all the american companies are now outsourcing for this cheap garbage too. I went to reassemble my bike today and realized none of my shit was even close to fitting correctly... not even close. Gonna take a lot of cutting and massaging to get this anywhere close to the right fitment. I made a point to order from a place in the southeast and not international because i wanted to avoid the chinese bullshit. I call up the place and tell them about this problem and they tell me that the parts are built in china.....

    so sick of you chinese mother fuckers and your cheaply made bullshit. I'm even done eating chinese food now.

    I figured out a way to solve our debt problem. Simply ask China for a refund on anything theyve sold us that was junk. That should put us a few trill in the positive.

    Most if not all of Apple products are made in china. I wouldn't trust American companies. They are too cheap. Work for a Federal Contract for 3 years and you will see that a majority of items being sold are cheap and overpriced. We have parts designed and made sepcifically by Boeing for the AH-64D. Most of the time if not all, the parts never fit correctly and require modding. One small cowling (2'x3') made of fiberglass is $14,000 and will it ever fit right? Nope. Made in the US too. Moral of the story, everything now a days is being made cheaply to make a quick buck.

    Aircraft, especially helos, will require modification for damn near any replacement part. Airframes twist and parts move because of it.

    IN some cases yest but you shouldnt on a brand new Delta model with under 400 hours on it.

    A CPG mirror is about 4 inches in diameter and looks like you could buy it at Walgreens and its $427.

    American products are not much better, just cost more. There are cheap products made everywhere. Relating to the car field, Philips has a whole Hong Kong division, JL Audio is made in China, Memphis is made in China, Viper Alarms are made in China, and the list goes on.

    The list doesnt apply to motorcycle bodywork. Even ABS will grow/shrink. I've gotten probably 3 sets of chinese fairings from HK, and none of them bolt on perfect. They all looked damn good (especially for the price) but took minor massaging and in the case of my old rc-51, a little mount movement/epoxying. You get what you pay for. Factory fairing are ridiculous price.

    No. Unaware, i purchased from an american company that outsourced to china. A lot of these american companies advertise made in the US, but mysteriously a box from china arrives at your door.

    So fuck your mother.

    I understand and expect that.... the problems with this are solely on the stupidity of the manufacturer. The mold itself is within reasonable expectation. The problem is that most of the holes are drilled in the wrong places or the cuts werent made correctly. The finishing after it came out of the mold is what ruined my parts.

    I disagree with you sinfix!

    China is the fucking shit! I've been here for months now and I kinda got the hang of how it is. The people here aren't like a lot of the degenerates you see back home- they actually have work ethic. They're sheisty when it comes to biz, but that's good bc it's buyer beware here like it should be.

    They aren't all low-quality. A lot of the stuff here is much higher quality than we have here- especially in terms of engineering. The problem is the American fucker who went to china to buy bottom dollar shit to sell to other dumbasses who trusted him from the getgo. If they can reproduce Intel processors with nanomanufacturing processes so well for a fraction of the cost, it's a marvel in itself. It's not all bad, it's the business side of things and the people on that side that fuck it up for you. China is a great, great fucking place. Just earlier today a friend of mine got ripped off: He bought a Kingston USB 3.0 thumb drive that was 512GB. He paid ~100RMB for it which is roughly like 17 USD... Btw, this product doesn't even exist LOL, look it up on kingston it doesn't exist at all. I've never seen a thumb drive so small hold 512gb, and with the price of solid state memory it was a steal!

    So somehow the guys hacked it to show 512gb in windows, but I'm doing a more thorough test to see how big it is with a tool called H2testw. It tested good for at least 8gb so far, so he didn't get completely screwed.

    Bottom Line: China is the shit, US is also the shit, but in different ways.- I'll try to get a writeup explaining my overall opinion differentiating the two when I can get it into words.

    Chinese goods aren't all bad- i'm sure most of what you use has went through here in some way. It's like everyone in the country has embraced the whole profit in volume mindset of Wal-mart... When it comes to pinching pennies like that- who is to blame? The manufacturer who does what you say, or the idiot giving orders trying to squeeze pennies?

    I also run an American company that sell American parts that were engineered in Mexico, which are made in china, who are sold to Russia which ended up, somehow here in USA. But hey, my company is American.
