I think we SHOULD be censored in China!
Time for brother Dave to name another cat.
All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
The Chinese government leaders are bigger asswipes than ours are. How's dat?

Remember all this when China becomes the ONLY source for affordable amateur radio gear. I said affordable, not cheap. Wouxun is now considered mainstream and there are one or two HF rigs coming out of Beijing that are at second generation status in design and production.
Alinco has moved to China (could be old news here) and there are a couple of kits available with very poorly translated instructions. Chinese military radios are available on the web everyday and while there are still a few more hurdles to jump, they are shrinking these old designs and adding some modern features.
Japan will still make great rigs but the future of the manufacturing output of Japan is up in the air right now.
Someone will figure on translating manuals for those Chinese rigs and make a fortune doing so. All the same bullshit whining now being made about China was once said about Japan. Then about Korea. Take my auto out for a spin and you will see the future. Get used to the idea, 'cause you can't change it.
Yes sir, that is exactly correct. If you were to ask Orv, China was already better than us in quality 10 years ago.All the same bullshit whining now being made about China was once said about Japan.

Well... the Chinese do have some intelligence:
