+Quality of life in many of the countries, including much of Japanese industrial areas. I do not wish to promote buying products made in a country where people are treated as a means rather than as an end (ie it's many times like promoting slave labor).
+The lack of that intelectual spark which produces new ideas (thinking out of the box). The east has built it's industry on mimicking and many times plagiarizing the ideas of the western inventor, as an engineer myself this is very important to me.
+And the fact that jobs are being taken from Americans and Europeons, the people who have made the world what it is today.

I do not wish to get into a political discussion here; I just wish to purchase a good track bike that I will be happy with/proud to own and be able to race, reliably, for the next few years.
