"Made in China" -- why?

Once in awhile we get negative "Made in China" comments, why not support USA? Here is the answer: We love our factory near Hong Kong, the Chinese people are wonderful (no it's not child labor I've been there). I speak Chinese so I get a first hand account. The Chinese labor laws are in place which has salaries and benefits to protect the workers. Many factory workers also get free room/board, and food. Many come from very rural areas where there are no work opportunities other than farming in the fields, so they travel to urban areas to make a better living and send money home (this is the reason the entire country closes for 2-3 weeks at Chinese New Year - vacation!). We looked at some factories in USA and the sewing and quality was not up to our standards. We went with the best factory, and very nice people. We are happy with being "Made in China" - our next trip to the factory is in early November, I can't wait!
