No bashing or politics, just a tidbit or two while I wait on the sun to warm things up a little.
Wife does export for a plastic/rubber plant in the industrial area here. They produce a few complete products themselves which, if assembly is required, is done locally by their plant workers, a local work therapy kind of school for mentally and physically handicapped folks, or taken home by some workers and assembled on a piece rate depending on difficulty and demand level. So. made in germany..........
They are surrounded by bosch/rexroth (sparkplugs, electrical, pumps, etc) SKF (bearings and seals), sachs (brakes, clutches, shocks/struts, and other suspension parts) and some others.
Some of the sealed (lube for life) bearings are produced locally, sent on a tour and back to my wife's place a half mile away to be injected with the seal material then shipped out to customers all over the world. Made in germany.
A whole bunch of shocks, bearing seals, balljoints, etc have the metal and the spring produced and sent to china, wife's place makes the rubber/plastic piece and sends it to china. Assembled in china and sent back to the name factory (bosch,skf,etc) to be shipped out to customers.
Hard to believe that could be cheaper but I guess so.
And, for the diehard folks typing on the forum about "ain't no china stuff coming on this place", take the side panel off your computer and see where some of the components are made..........
