The legit China stuff is fine, ok yeah a laughed a little when I said that but honestly my Baofeng UV-5r has worked great for two years now.And people think this China crap is so wonderful...
blah,
You can't blame China. They have been successfully riding on the back of other companies for a decade by stealing anything they can from intellectual property to complete disregard for any patents.
If you can seal a good name or design, you don't have to do any of the work and still get all the profit. The real problem is no other country has the guts (nice word) to stand up to China because the ones that should are so far in debt to them.
If there is no consequence for stealing we should only expect it to get worse. We are telling China it's OK. Nobody is going to say boo! Steal what you want whenever you want. We won't even try to block you from importing them.

We quietly let that opportunity pass us by many years ago. Due to many years of letting the wolves run the chicken coup, we are stuck right where we are forever. All this free trade flooded the market with cheap products that let every dollar they generate leave this country. That forced all of our manufacturing base to dry up and go out of business.
Now if we cut China off we will have just about none of the things we use on a daily basis and could never start making them again on our own without a major miracle. Try making it trough a single day without using anything made in China. You probably can't get past breakfast or your alarm clock going off.
Don't buy much do you? I have no problem with made in China as its just the way it is. We lost it years ago and it will never recover so that's it. Now when China calls their bonds we are done. How hard is it to speak Chinese?well my alarm clock was made in the 80s. pretty much everything I own is old old old. if i do buy something new.. 1st thing i do is look and see where it is made.. if it says china. i put it right back on the shelf and walk away.
