Hi there Chris, The reality is that most of the products from asia are produced for US manufacturers and to the spec's required by those US manufacturers that put there name on the products and sell here. This has been the model for several decades. While we have indignantly turned up our noses because of the lack of quality the products are being produced for us by out own (US) companies. There are very good quality products manufactured in asia. If you want 100,000 somethings made, write the specifications required, pay for the QA and sell the products where you can; the level of quality is your concern.
