This thread makes me laugh.
It is the CONSUMER that is the root cause - nobody else. If you HATE buying from China Jeremy, than I propose you stop buying Celestron, Skywatcher and many Canon products. I suggest you seek the ones made in Japan, genuine Celestron (pre-Synta ownership) and just ditch Skywatcher altogether. Then throw out your television, anything with a PCB in it, your clothes.... and so on ad nauseum. I understand the point of your post, but where do you draw the line?
Unless an item is a deliberate counterfeit - meant to deceive the buyer - then anything else is just a CONSUMER ITEM. "Western" society facilitated the entire issue you despise based entirely on greed (profit driven). Return the manufacture of said items to the USA, UK, Australia et al and watch how the cost spirals exponentially, market dwindles. Poverty is already problematic in the US (13.9% - 18.5 million people), UK (22% - 14.2 million people) and Australia (13.2% - 3 million people), so let's just make it even worse and apply a backward ideology.
"MAGA" and similar nationalistic policies are chest thumping and "patriotic", until you realise that actually doing it is nigh on impossible in these modern times.
