I think China is where Japan was about 40 years ago. When I was a kid, the label Made in Japan stood for junk. Man, how times have changed. Today that label means high quality. China will eventually make quality goods and overtake Japan, the U.S. and everybody else as an economic powerhouse.

Rolla, are these the ones being sold on ebay by a company in Blyth? I'm after a diesel generator, and looked at these. Great price, but not much good if there's no parts available. I emailed the company asking where they came from and what backup there was - no reply, which says it all, really!
