Oops, sorry! Wrong thread on similar subject.
Yes and no. The xenophobic part is similar, the same. But the thread started by asking about value. USA and western European companies are having their products made in the far east, Asia. Where production costs are much less. But still charging the same high prices as if the product was made in USA or western Europe where production costs are much higher. For me, if I was paying 100% margin for a USA/European product, I would hate to pay the same retail price and 400% margin for a product made in Asia. Asia not meaning Japan. I think Japan and USA and western Europe all have similar costs.
