In the software industry, foreign engineers can be had for $10,000 USD a year or less and they think that is a good wage in their country. Factory workers in china consider $3.00 USD a day a good wage. Now, when they take this cheap chit, chuck it in a plastic case and build it in a way where it is lucky to escape its first fall on a hard surface ... over $100.00 USD and I would tell 'em to keep it. I don't think the youngsters know any different, they were born during the time throw-away-junk was becoming all which is obtainable. Now don't get me wrong, I have a nice receiver, a boat anchor from a bygone day. The rest is just cheap plastic chit  I doubt if you can find any radio which is still manufactured in the USA--toss the boards into cases and claim "assembled in the usa" or some such nonsense though ...
