So how long are we looking at until Stihl, and Husky are going to be manufactured in China? please doing tell me it already happened.
Judging by all the good people working in Virginia beach I imagine it'll HOPEFULLY never happen.
I hate to be the king of "doom and gloom", but what doesn't end up being made in china?

As for fuel prices, only about $70 of the current price per barrel is related to processing costs and demand. The rest is because of the speculators and the futures market. The real estate market collapsed, so the speculators needed something else to play with, resulting in the price doubling in the past 2 years.
You Americans keep voting Republican, and you'll soon be living in China. Or at least a protectorate thereof. It's pretty messed up when a German company can have junk built in China and sold to people in North America. Is it just me, or are there TWO unnecessary middlemen there? The other irony is that they're cracking down on our efficiency standards here and altering our equipment accordingly, but turning around and having our stuff built in countries which have absolutely NO environmental regulations halfway across the globe. And we're supposed to believe that the fuel used to ship it the 10,000 miles over here doesn't offset or even far surpass the effects of less efficient engines? Gimme a break.
That is criminal!:angry2:
I know, our conservative government is gradually selling us out too.
