You are right, my mistake. However, that does not
change the fact that the company that bought Celestron
produces much of it's product in MAINLAND CHINA, which was
my original point. There is NO difference between a company that is
headquartered in one country but produces it's good in another.
The onus is still on them to make sure the products are not being
made by serfs, and people who knowingly buy those products are
supporting a system that represses freedom. Most people won't worry
about such things, because it means cheaper goods, which is fine,
it's a moral judgement call.
