« on: April 25, 2015, 02:15:14 PM »
I irresponsibly China bashed on the harmonic balancer thread. (Sorry bro).

I just wanted to start this one to continue the conversation.

Some products that should never be made in China, but are.

Safety equipment like helmets and fire suits.

Fall protection

Medications

Baby food

Pet food

Automotive performance products.

Electrical components

Plumbing products

Anything structural

The list is endless.

But am I really?  Do you think if these products were advertised by how they are made and by whom that they would still outsell the American made counterpart?

Think about all the product engineers and inventors that have been completely ripped off by these practices. Your patent means zero in China.

    Don't think that... The US has somewhat been addressing it, the tariffs that is. Take tires for instance. The chinks have been unloading new chink truck tires for a few years or more now. They are at about the same or a little more than a retreaded truck tire price. The tires aren't worth a rats ass, wear out like erasers, and are for the most part unretreadable. A tire from non chink manufactuer will last longer and be retreadable anywhere from 3 to many more times depending on the application. If you look at the economic part of it, you pay for example maybe 6 to 8 hundred for a new tire, get your wear out of it, and then have it retreaded 2,3,4 or more times, for about 150 to 200 bucks. The chink tires wear it out and throw it away. The US has imposed a tariff on those tires because of their dumping on the US market.

I feel I need to say something on this subject. Made4you products is made and packaged in the U.S. And Taylor wire stole my family's design. Yes we could sue but at the end I believe we make a better product.

Curiosity is getting the better of me. This is the kind of stuff I'm talking about.

Can you get any more specific? Specific enough for us to do our own research?

My wife's mom has a patient and started the production in the early 80s. But what she has said to me is she could sue but they have more time and money. So she just tries to get the product out to make ends meet.

ive heard of situations like that.  going against a bigger company....is tough.  they can afford to drag out litigation.  eventually....the little guy runs out of money and drops the suit.  its not right....but the bigger guys know it.

someone on here said it right........greed!

She could get things cheaper in China from manufacturing to packed the product, but she believes there is enough people out there buying american made to make ends meet.

I can't agree more on some of the knock off truck tires. We had some new take-off steer tires from booster axles of new trucks we bought(Doudle Coin to be exact). They were put on other trucks and within about 2500 miles, developed a horrible shake/vibration. Come to find out, tires were out of round.
