The 80s and 90s had businesses gushing at the opportunities to

* liquidate unions

* avoid environmental laws

* take advantage of cheap labor

Both parties fell over themselves in paving the way for US businesses to move the bulk of their manufacturing outside the country.

The Chinese millionaire kids who are buying houses for cash are a product of the distillation of thousands of once blue collar jobs that burned to move production overseas.

Any derision in the quality of Chinese made goods should be directed at the companies themselves. Those factories are built what they are told to build. That brand that was once a mark of quality that is now making a shoddy product is just extracting value. Your Macbook Pro and that power tool in name only are made in the same place.
