Well, it doesn't matter where they are made. The makers know how to make things great if they choose to. And if they choose not to, the products won't have quality in them.
I think most people want the Stradic Ci4 fishing reel because it's made in Japan. This island-parts country is known for its quality work, although I wouldn'take Suzuki cars to be comparable to Toyota and Honda cars.
Ah! Just found out that Taiwan is the maker of iPhones. They may be assembled in China, but the phone parts are probably made in Taiwan.
