[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 12412, member: 82"] The scary thing is some things that get made in china are actually better than what we make over here. I remember someone telling me about bolts. They were cheaper in china so naturally they started importing them, the quality was actually better than what could be made locally, not sure how that worked but that was the story! I hear you on the steel, we export heaps of iron ore to china for processing, we also send scrap steel for the same job. Its cheaper to package it up, ship to China, get them to process it and ship it back than we can do it locally! like whats going on???? The standard of the steel from this is no where near what we can produce our selves but its cheap so who gets the job? you guessed it, China! Its great to keep prices down, but there has to be a point where quality verses price just isn't good enough. *end rant* [/QUOTE]
