Nope, not all, as if it should matter.


Uhmm... the Eton E5 and Grundig G5 are made in China (Looking at the
back of my E5 "designed in California, made in China".

The Eton E100....... on the back of the radio it says..... Made in
China.

As of 2001, many of the suppliers to Sony had already shifted

of the costs in Japan.

Sony itself now gets many parts from China.
