For the same price of those two cheap radios you could have had one
excellent radio that actually worked superbly.
So, you sent two donations to the Communist Party of China.

Feel good?

Clue: The Chinese Communist Party has its hand in practically every
"business" undertaking in China. Since everything electronic is now made
in China, this means that it's now impossible to find a brand new SW
radio that does NOT have some connection to the Chinese Communist Party.
If you want to know who to thank for this, look at the American and
Japanese CEOs who can't resist having their products made by laborers
making 10 cents a day, even if it means giving the ruling party a cut of
the profits. In the process, they have so destroyed the industrial bases
of America and Japan that the Japanese economy is in a permanent
depression and the US economy is headed there, and the US military can't
adequately equip its soldiers. Americans and Japanese: when you're
starving to death because all the jobs in your countries have been
exported to China, don't eat your Degen, eat the nearest filthy rich
"multinational" CEO. Oh, you COULD buy a used "new in box" made in Japan
Sony off ebay-if you want to pay an exorbitant price for it.

I own several radios none of which were made in mainland China.

True!

in China, this means that it's now impossible to find a brand new SW
radio that does NOT have some connection to the Chinese Communist Party.

False!
The only in production Sony SW radios I am aware of that are made in China
are the
low end SW35 & SW11 models.

Japanese CEOs who can't resist having their products made by laborers

Wrong! Blame the Chinese Communist Party which grossly underpays its
workforce and still insists on undervalueing its currency. Which
incidently, has been pegged to the US$ for a decade now while their economy
grows by leaps and bounds. Furthermore, as the US$ depreciates (at least
15% so far) so does the Chinese Yuan$ making Chinese produced products ever
more cheaper in the rest of the worlds currencies.

even if it means giving the ruling party a cut of
the profits. In the process, they have so destroyed the industrial bases
of America and Japan that the Japanese economy is in a permanent
depression and the US economy is headed there,

The Japanese are the most nepotistic society on earth. Beleive me they
would rather
employ Japanese rather then Chinese which the Japanese historically don't
carry any fond love for.

The world, including Japan, has simply been forced to compete on price. If
factories don't lower
their cost the company will cease to exist. Now it is China's move just as
it was Japan's back in the 80's.
We have been here before - how soon we forget!
