<3's all the China/Taiwan bashing. I hope you realise 90% of the **** we buy is made in Asia. You wouldn't be able to buy so much cheap **** if it weren't for that continent. Count your blessings. If you really want to avoid buying bikes from Taiwan, electronics from China and clothing from Bangladesh, then fork over a ton more cash for locally-produced goods, at significant labour costs, meagre selection and sometimes even poorer quality and service.

It's a ****ed up world. Now go ride your Chinese-made bike. Sheesh.
