^Very true...communism doesn't exist there anymore. They are more like a slightly-more-liberal capitalist society now. Free enterprise has exploded there, and bajillions of Chinese people (more and more common workers now in fact) are buying cars. LOTS of cars. The old "I won't buy from Communists" mindset doesn't work anymore, unless its made in North Korea (which its not).

BTW> China has stopped politically backing North Korea (they are not publically negotiating anyway), but they still supply their product and energy needs i'm sure, but I wouldn't listen to me since i'm just a dumb high school student.

You'd be hard pressed to find a bike made in China over $250. Every bike I have is from Taiwan, which is not China, even my Mongoose Rockadile mountain bike. Also, I believe low-end Cannondales and Treks are made in Taiwan, and only the really expensive ones are made in the US.

EDIT AGAIN: Chinese cars are next. Check out Geely's website. They can undercut the Korean manufacturers (Kia, Hyundai) in price by several thousand dollars.

Plus, if you buy a GM manufactured car, there's a good chance it's made in Mexico because Unions have demanded so much that companies can't actually make a profit or compete anymore.

Even "Made in the U.S.A." stuff is mostly made in Ireland and ASSEMBLED in the US.
