True..If they just sell them in China, then a VERY SMART move.

If they ship them here, then uh oh...

But China even if they are slowing down, is a HUGE market..

I have a bag of GoPro accessories here and waiting for a GoPro (this weekend!) I didn't think of the LCD. Better put it on my wish list, I was also going to buy a backup battery.

Does this surprise you? Look at how much money GM is spending/spent in China. Sick. Some of those people make a dollar a week... How can anyone else compete with that? Who wants to compete with that?

yes, huge market that someone will take even if one doesnt agree building things there. it's all about money that nissan will generate that will be put towards engineeirng that might be our next sports car here.

i see some patriotic folks put stupid 'no to made in china', but the american flags they wave at parades and stuff are probably made in china. lol

china is part of life.

your niece is a fighter, good job to her! i cant speak for your son, but i tell my kids almost everyday (they're little still ) that i am going to kick their arses out of the house at age 22. they better do well in school and find a job by then cause dad is not kidding. i luv my kids and they must learn to live on their own by then.

both my brother and i moved out of our parents house after finishing college (university). my bro moved 5500miles away for his first real job. i moved 2200miles for my first real job. hahaha. not that we wanted to move far away from our parents, but it was a clear way to show we can stand on our own feet.

The Buick make was basically saved by the Chinese market. When GM slashed Saturn, Pontiac, etc, Buick was safe because it is one of the best selling luxury marques in China.

AMEN...

I am wealthy, and I am not as healthy as I want to be, due to major issues.

I am working on being able to enjoy all that I have worked for in Life.

Health is number one, then work on other things...

Money can buy happiness, in the form of peace of mind and security,but if you are not healthy, it only pays the medical bills and all your toys just sit there.

I'm glad you're well off and all, but I don't have the $$$ to be throwing at physicians and specialists every week. I'm so pissed off that no one can figure this thing out and even more pissed about the car stuff on top of it. I need a drink. Or sex.

I am sorry you are going through what you are going through..

I did not mean to sound arrogant, I just point out that health is so much more important than money..I know, easy for me to say, but it is so true.

I agree that spending money on doctor's can be so expensive..But I blew it in life when i was younger and I am paying for it now...Literally.

So taking care of one's self is a top priority.not that I followed my own advise, I was a dumbA$$..

And now I am paying for it ...My Fault..

dont forget this too for your mic needs. a dab of wd40 i recommend on the contacts so you dont get crackling when you reposition the mic.
