I was just packing away my Garmin GPS for the winter and of course I
remember it was not manufactured in the USA. But it was manufactured in
Taiwan, which is acceptable. Now is there anything inside its case that
was made in the PRC? I am sure there is. But I can't control that. Had
the unit carried a Made in China label, I would not have purchased it.

You do realise that Taiwan is China right?

Technically, but not practically. Conditions there are not the same as
they are in the PRC for many important reasons.

You know, and I mean this in a complimentary way, you have an amazing
ability to rationalize anything.

It's truly remarkable. :)

You're comparing life in Taiwan to life in the PRC? Taiwan, as part of
the ROC, is a democracy and its residents choose their leaders in free
elections. The PRC is a dictatorship.

Not anything, just anything that he likes. If he hasn't done it, it
not worth doing. If he doesn't believe in it, it's not worth believing
in, if he doesn't own it, it's not worth owning. Ask him. Take a
simple thing like fried turkey for example!
