As a starter you might want to check http://www.sac.com.cn/eng/

In the customers section, I read among others:
 737-700 Empennage
Customer: Boeing
Contract concluded: 1995

I understand you will never again fly in a Boeing 737-700, through
perception alone.

Me, too.

Dang, it's hard to find ANYTHING not made in China anymore. I've
noticed that even many of the books I've been buying lately are from
China now...

This will be a PR nightmare for Cessna IMO. How long until the Skycatcher is
known as a Chinese POS? Even if I chose an overseas builder I would NEVER of
chose a Chinese company only through perception alone.



And yet you'll gladly plunk down the money for that new Garmin.

This might not be the best thing for "Rosie the Riveter" in
ICT but then, the legal system stole her job a long
time ago.

That's because we alre allowing ourselves to become the United States of
China. They could use the profits, though. Lots of underprivelaged and
oppressed people there, so they need the money to build ships, tanks and
nukes to keep everybody in line.

I grew up in south Central British Columbia, Canada. It's
fruit-growing country. Lately, the orchard owners have complained that
the supermarket chains are importing apples from China. What could
possibly drive that, other than greed?
I wonder if those Chinese apples have pesticides in them that
are banned here? Like lead in paint...
