Quoted from rai:

That's not true you can buy a 4 TB hard drive for around $100
You can buy a Blu-ray player for around $40
You can buy a very nice smart flatscreen 48" tv for less than $400
Computers for less than $500
Etc..

Every single one of those is most likely "Made in China".

Just sayin'

Quoted from rai:

Makes no difference where it's built these things are cheaper now than ever.
In fact if you figure shipping and profits some of these prices are insane, a calculator for $2 or whatever? My gosh that's cheap. Calculators used to cost hundreds of dollars.

Obviously I have no problem with "Made in China" since I own a factory here, but there are plenty who still do.

Oh, and $2 for a calculator "IS" insane, I couldn't mould the buttons on one for $2 - even in my Chinese factory. I really don't know how they make some things for the money and I'm here on the spot!!!
