That would be an interesting twist: made in U.S.A. by a Chinese company.

Much of the modern quality driven industrial culture of Japan came from ideas born in the USA.

Technically speaking (and not trying to nitpick), it would be a Taiwanese company (the ROC as distinct from the PRC), but yes, I definitely do see the irony.

Point taken; I was thinking of it as a Chinese company because of their high-profile plants in China but it is actually Taiwanese.
