yes thats true most european companies have their stuff made in asia/china you can't buy computer parts that aren't, but if you go down to your local super market and see oh a nice cheap CD player with the brand name of the super market OBVIOUSLY it was made in china by some unknown company (that being unknown cares little for quality/rep) that sticks the name of the supermarket on it free of charge for orders over "x" thousands, now if you use your savvy step out of the supermarket and go get something thats made by a proper company unfortunately these are also becoming far and few between I bought a philips portable cd player that was packing up like a week later,
for example medi@com they make nothing and neither do skintech I have two identical mp3 players, one branded medi@com and one skintek and creative media players well I havn't seen one in a couple of years, luckily even a cheap mp3 player is adequate and having no moving parts does not break down so easily, my sister bought one with a built in rechargeable battery that was totally dud could have not been in there at all (medi@com).
but of course prime ministers still go off to china to big meetings to make agreements with them followed by all the economic bods in his parliament so what more do we want yes we have to think with our own heads start demanding good stuff example I WILL NOT buy a cd player because I know they breakdown in weeks ALL OF THEM made by any company, so they have lost my business until they make me a cd player that really works same for anything else.
of course it goes without saying that china's last priority is the environment and the most hazardeous energy forms (coal) are the cheapest and thats all they seem to care about
