I have to wonder, though. After WWII, the Japanese were desperate to
sell stuff. Anything. They had no time for development or quality
control. "Made in Japan" was synonymous with "crap". Things are
different now. My son bought a kitchen knife recently. US$200. Made
in Japan.

The Chinese have come a *long* way in a *short* time. What will Chinese
products be like in ten years? Fifty?
