With the approach of a new year I am going to make every effort to purchase items for fly fishing that are Made in the U.S.A. when at all possible.
:-[ I not sure how long “stuff” is going to be made in the U.S. I have a friend who works for a Chineses co. that sells products here ahd in Europe; he notes that in less than 8 years China will have the corner on almost every market in the world. He spends almost 6 months of the year in China, speaks Chinese and I believe one of the mosr astute judges of what’s to come. They are insatiabile, have the manpower and will continue to expand a nd grab the market for everything. I believe we did it to ourselves (manufactures, that is), and the trend is irreversable. It’s something akin to the large
I really don’t know what were headed for by becoming dependant on countries like China but I bet it isn’t good. Just a few years ago they shot down a US plane and held the pilots hostage…
I buy US or NON CHINA when I can and try to influence others to do the same. It is a losing battle I am afraid.
