Buying quality parts becoming impossible.

What's scary about it all is that the Chinese CAN tool up old stuff and sell it cheaply here even if it IS garbage. Whether they make a profit is kind of irrelevant. And I've been a tech for 41 years - we used to laugh at new Chinese brake rotors when they came into the shop-first thing we did was chuck them up on the Aamco lathe and remachine them. The castings were horrendous on a good day.Not any more. They have gotten a lot better and I guess that's my other point. They CAN make good stuff =we had just better hope they don't apply all that technology (that our corporations gave them/they stole) and apply it to weopons or we are F+*#ed as a nation.

Well, here are only a few scary examples of how China is aiming to do just that. In many areas to include, Tech/Military/Etc.
