Hi,

Some products from China do indeed have significant value for the $.

As a matter of fact, compared to the low cost items out of Japan in
the 50's, the Chinese stuff can be down right nice.

Then there are the power tools at Harbor Freight but I won't go there.

Where is the best place to look for high end, lower priced
astronomical optics from China which I can buy in the U.S.A..

My dislike for labor camps using slave, child or convict labor ends
generally when I open my wallet.

In Pasadena, we have STATS, a store that sells Christmas decorations
in the fall (mostly all year). If there were no made in China
decorations there, the store would be virtually empty. Seems funny for
a communist country to be supplying a largely christian country with
decorations for their biggest religious holiday.

Guess it would be stranger if Jewish religious items we being made by
Iran, Iraq and Lybia.

Sorry for being this crass but I'm not going to buy at the highest
price in order to send a message to another country concerning how
they treat their people.

Sincerely,

Jim Klein
