I am suprised to hear the alpha drives are holding up. 95% of the goods manufactured in China that I have ever bought are pure crap. the problem is that you can hardly find anything not made in China these days. I supose it wont be too long before Mercury outsources to China anyway

Can't put all the blame on the American companies. I am sure that us (americans) along with the USA government has made operating a manufacturing company inside of the USA a very easy task. Unions, EPA, Local rules and regulations, Tax burdons, eager sue happy lawyers........

The company I work for has a plant there now, even some medical devices are made in china. What we make are not life threatening, but still implants(dental). Not that I agree with manufacturing in China, but the quality you get from them is what you are willing to accept. In our case we have a VERY stringent quality organization, and refuse to accept crap, once they realized that, most of the product we are receiving from them is better than what we have made here for the last 20 years.

I see a lot of chinese tooling. Some is bad and some is excellent. It all depends on the standard that you expect. It was a lot of trial and error on which chinese suppliers we use. We better wake up, because when I see posts of chinese crap and that their stuff is not as good as what we can produce state side, it is not a true statement. I wish it was that way and the lack of quality would drive the work back home, but it is a fallacy.
The only way I can see a majority of the work coming back is higher transportation fees, lowering companies cost to manufacture here, efficiencies in manufacturing, weaker dollar/stronger yuan and lower labor rates.
We need manufacturing jobs in the States to keep a strong middle class, without them I can only see the gap between the haves and have nots getting greater.

IMPOSSIBLE
See it will never happen as the middle class will always be tricked into feeling sorry for the cancer of our society.
