    Incidentally I did buy a made-in-USA Edsal steel storage rack from Lowe’s. After all I have to keep all those imported tools organized! Will find out about quality when I put it together tonight.

    [quote=flu][quote=patb][quote=flu]Guys. This isn’t nearly as messed up as a few of my friends who own very profitable businesses are doing..

    They are selling high end products to high end consumers in china.

    So these friends basically import then goods FROM CHINA to the U.S and then send it right back to china to sell.

    Go figure.[/quote]

    because the chinese have lousy internal distribution[/quote]

    Well actually, it’s because some of the goods are only destined for U.S. and cannot be purchased directly from internal consumers.[/quote]

    Interesting. Is it because the Chinese govt is trying to encourage exports over internal consumption (not that I blame them)? Why would they prevent domestic sales of Chinese-made goods?

    Nothing to with the Chinese government. Corporations have products destined to certain markets.

    For example the iPhone was first available only in USA but Chinese consumers wanted them.

    Abercrombie has no stores in China. But there are stores in China selling brand name clothing reexported from USA.
