If you look at just about any manufactured item in this country, you're likely to see a "Made In China" sticker on it. Most companies are based in the U.S., but subcontract production to foreign countries were labor is cheaper. They likely haven't moved physically to China because the standard of living in this country is the highest in the world and...well, let's face it, Chinese is a bitch of a language to learn. Plus there are like, what, 2,000 dialects across the country. Sheesh.
