Hope the slavery-like working conditions for the chinese workers improve soon - guess that will be visible by fons that were produced in Bangladesh.

I really got upset when reading that McDonalds had tried to undercut the minimal wages for their chinese employees (they failed fortunally). Typical dishonest habit of conservative managers with "decent" lifestyle including family, church and patriotism. How I hate such ***holes...

The working conditions of many Chinese factories have already improved. I spent two months last year living in a speaker factory in mainland china. While I was there, they were installing air conditioning on the production floors. All of the workers also received a raise during that time. Everyone was working hard, and for longer hours than in the USA but there were breaks and relaxation time with movies, basketball, etc.

The amount of Chinese production has created a labor shortage and factories are improving their living and working conditions to convince employees to stay.

Also all of my ATs are from japan. My Denon AH-D550 is from Japan. My ER4-P is made in USA (or so it says). Alot of really cheap Sony earbuds come from Malaysia, Thailand or Philippines.
