The Iphone will be made there anyway, so the made in china stuff wont fly. As a matter of fact, it's the american work force that is the worthless one, so the made in the USA stamp should be the one to watch out for. Everything is made in china, so there is no point in even arguing.

You clearly have NO IDEA what you are talking about. You don't know a copyright from a trademark from a patent. You are just talking out of your ass and spewing anti-chinese BS. You are a little bigot.

Please do tell me how much time you've spent in China and witnessed "slave-labor" first-hand? Or tell me more about Chinese tax law...You've got shit.

This is one company. Suddenly it is "all Chinese" are so and so? How immature.

Oh, and if anyone actually read about patent law in China, they have been upholding it there recently.

Please, I am so tired of everyone holding China as a scapegoat. Yes their govt. needs to give up communism, but you cannot say all of China is bad because of their govt. I mean, can you say the entire US stands by our current govt's views on Iraq??

People love drinking their China Hatorade.
I'm sure it's hard to admit that your people do immoral things. I can debate about China's government dipping into everyone's pockets by owning part of every industry, thus giving orders to them. Shoot, I have crazy Taiwanese pride, but I know we have a lot of shady business going on as well. No need to go on a harangue about it.

i dont think its the american work force..maybe more like manufacturing process?

a lot of quality hondas / toyotas are made in America by Americas work force..

Yet we have domestics made by Americans as well..not so good.

I'm still a little queasy about buying something over $500 branded "Made in China"
So you'll spend $1,000 for a nice plasma/lcd tv that has a Japanese or US brand but has its components sourced in China and possibly assembled in China?

I hate morons who drone on about how nothing is made in the US anymore. Actually the US manufacturing sector is very large. Until about 2005-2006 (depends on whose stats you use), the US was the leading exporter of manufactured goods. I.e., not just software, music, and movies. Lots of high-end things are made in the US but people tend to concentrate on cars, TV sets, and a small basket of consumer goods.

Chinese tech industry would be nonexistent without huge levels of foreign direct investment, mostly from the US and JP. But it's true that iBooks and iPhones and iPods are (partially) made in China already.
