#1 Was just trying to determine where the major brands of residential circuit breakers are made. The information is not front and center anywhere.

#2 As for computer components, it's not too difficult to source Taiwanese, Indonesian and Singaporean parts in most cases. As soon as you want a laptop or smartphone your choices are much more limited.

#3 I have always laughed about "chemtrails," but maybe it's time we showed the Chinese we can do that.

#4 China must be making money hand over fist on medical and hospital supplies this quarter.

#5 I just examined a Square D OQ type 30 amp breaker I have on my bench; in really teeny, tiny print it says made in Mexico. One data point is not a trend, I know.....

#10 Ref #5: I'll go with "Made in Mexico" if my only other option is China.

#11 #10 What about made in China, marked as made in Mexico?

#12 /\ Yes! I read something this morning that China is sending products to Vietnam for repackaging-relabeling for onward shipment to the States.

#14 We impose tariffs on Chicom products so they ship them via Vietnam with phony labels and nobody noticed? We have 17 “intelligence “ agencies that can tell you what kind of booze the politburo drinks but nobody noticed cheating on a major foreign policy action? When did Monty Python infiltrate the IC?

Wasn't it the Soetoro regime that coined the term "Selective Enforcement?"

#17 IC's part of the problem, sure, but the fundamental source of the rot is our political-oligarch class. Pelosi, Feinstein, Bush-Clinton, Gates, the lot of em: China whores all.

#20 ^ see above. 'Free,' yes: as in free rides for thieving CCP cadres, their spawn and Chinese military-owned firms, and free profits for their American pimps.

#22 No way Lex. In every detective movie/book I've ever seen, pimps make the big money - not their girls.

#23 ...The CCP are costumers. Politicians are pimps, and guess whose ass gets sold?

#24 No way. Too much money to be made for the wealthy in China. Trade will be back to normal by the end of the year.

Our SJWs were silent on China's racism. Can't be providing aid and comfort to the enemy (patriotic Americans).

#31 What about made in China, marked as made in Mexico?

Some of Trump's recent "re-negotiations" of NAFTA dealt with this exact issue.
