To some extend, I agree with JS.
Pass and reflect, could we view this issue as: "is the Westinghouse(or
other famous comopanies) responsible for letting the consumers know
where are the goods original from??" So that the consumers can have
the judgement of selecting the goods made in China or the goods made
in USA.
Now we are living in world of worldwide ecnomics, 2 important factors
of which kind of goods consumers will buy a "brand" and
"orignial", so it would better if the distributors in the country can
let consumers konw these information.


The point is not *where* the goods are produced, but rather that many
classic American brands which built up reputations by building quality goods
are no longer the companies they once were, but rather names that have been
purchased by other companies and stamped on generally low end goods. They
could be made in China, they could be made in Korea, they could be made in
America, but it doesn't change the situation of a no-name company producing
cheap junk and slapping recognized names on the goods to give the impression
of quality.

Not everything that comes from China is junk, and the quality does seem to
be improving, perhaps it will be the next Japan, but there is a *LOT* of
poor quality junk which had flooded in from China and it will take a while
for that repuation to change. I used to avoid buying it but I gave up, you
simply can't find anything made here anymore.
