Indeed the quality of a lot of the Chinese stuff is clearly working it's way
up. Probably part of this is because first tier manufacturers have been
putting huge investments into factories in China and are driving the quality
levels up. Yesterday I was looking at a very nice Dewalt 14" chop saw ...
sure enough, Made in China. Funny, the price is still $200 .

It could be "Still $200, instead of $240".
