Who remembers ye olde Hobbs pressure switch?

The Chinese copy is way better, much higher quality control and higher cycle life compared to the original still being made (now in Mexico) and on clapped out old tooling.

The Americans are making a rod for their own back, though mind you the little 'mom and pop' types are really keen on international markets, but the corporates are like pulling teeth and treat us like we should be thankful they're responding to an email 4 weeks later.

Last time I checked working conditions weren't too good in the US either, so I'm not sure thats much of an angle on China to be honest, the joint relies on illegal Mexicans to do everything and they subsidise their farmers to prevent foreign competition.
