Classe move to China


I've just learned that Classe has moved production to China. Has anyone taken delivery of a Made in China Classe product?

Will moving to China devalue the brand? Will quality suffer?

I am thinking of purchasing the new CA-M300 monoblocks, but this move has me hesitating.

Should the Japanese boycott Honda, Toyota ... for building their cars in USA and shipping them back to Japan for sale? Or the Germans building their BMW and Mercedes in US and exporting to other countries?

The last time I checked Classe is a private company and their goal is to make profits and stay in business. Does anyone have a clue in running a PROFITABLE business?

BTW, I'm not a fan of Classe and have no plans to buy one.

China already has put new tariffs on ours. They believe in all of the trade money going to their pockets. [http://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/15/business/global/china-imposes-new-tariffs-on-some-vehicles-from-the-us.html?pagewanted=all]
There is a plus side. The gear might be resistant to radiation from the lead content.

The uninformed always bashing businesses ... How about the feds intervening with Boeing opening another plan in So. Carolina and because So. Carolina is not a right to work state, unions (Obama supporters) are fighting against the new plant.

I would hope they do something to save one of our largest exporters from suicide. South Carolina is one of the top illiterate states, among others from Appalachia.

You can't have illiterate people building aircraft. They need to be able to read and write. The more educated they are, the less chances of a poor made product, that is a higher risk, and costs the company a fortune to try and make it right.

Why should a company educate people that are to lazy to finish high school, let along any further education? Some technical school background wouldn't hurt, and what is wrong with a college degree? Is college a bad word now?

General Motors decided to hire people without even a high school diploma. It backfired on them. They had to pay their employees to get rid of them! A lot of them went back to Appalachia, with their money, spent it, and are looking for other big paying jobs now. There are not anymore big paying easy handouts for them, except now, maybe Boeing?

The companies that moved there (South Carolina), are having a hard time trying to find employees. So how will Boeing find any?

Why should educated people that have good jobs, have to move there?

It sounds like you have some financial gain in Chinese products, and don't care whether the country fails, as long as your pockets get filled.

If you want to see one of our best companies fail, there is something not right here...

We need to support our companies. Otherwise, we may not have anything left.

I have lived all over the country, including S.C. Are there stupid and uneducated people there? Sure, but have you ever been to an automotive plant in Detroit during shift change. Yeah, that's my idea of literacy.
