Craftsman Tools "proudly made in china"

I wouldn't wait for China to "implode" any time soon.

They are going through what US and western Europe went through in the 1880's to 1950's but with MUCH better technology, and communication, plus the benefit of those who have gone before, and those in the western world who are all to eager to help them for a fee.

Before they implode, they get to create a relatively wealthy middle class, and feed their own ever increasing demand for material goods. Then they get to try to find a less developed country to outsource their own manufacturing to.

Prices may go up when we start competing with their domestic market, for their locally made goods.


Made in Turkmenistan???

Remember when you could find that good "made in China" stuff???
