Does it matter now? The alternatives are either Chinese companies, made in China, or filled with Chinese parts.

I'll give China credit, they've stitched everyone else right up, and we slurped it down because we're a sucker for cheap shit.

You can buy plenty of American made routers and other hardware that isn't quite as shady. But like you said, we love our cheap shit here, and don't give its malicious intent a second thought.

And no, it does not matter now, that's sort of my point. Pandora's box has been opened.
