ADVICE: Is there a GOOD PHONE/COMPUTER NOT made in RED CHINA? Need replacements, don't want to support slave labor

Also, where's the best place to buy from? I've bought from Amazon, Ebay before but other recommendations would be useful as well.

I hope you don't mind if I BUMP this for visibility.

Tell some of your all American CEOs who take full advantage of China’s willingness to do it.

Thank you so much!

I don't think they're all "Americans". If they support Communist China and its abuse of its own people and Muslims, they are no better than the Southern landowners who abused black slaves or Portugese/Spanish conquistadors who enslaved Native Americans and killed off whole tribes. There are degenerates who always want to exploit others for profit. I doubt if they even consider THEMSELVES American - these types usually like to think of themselves as "citizens of the world".

I’ve been considering The Light Phone:

It’s clean. Neat. Uses e-ink.

The only thing that keeps me from pulling the trigger is that I do enjoy getting email (work and personal) on my phone.

I’ve been trying to convince myself that email can wait until I’m at work or at home. But sometimes it’s nice for connectivity.

Good luck! Let us know what you decide on.

I will look into it, thank you so much for the suggestion!

Newegg.com is still a really good place to buy computer stuff and they generally try to stay price competitive with Amazon etc.

If you don't want to buy computer stuff made in China itself, look for the Taiwanese companies with stuff made in Taiwan. Asus is probably the main one and it's generally good stuff and they make everything.

Acer, Micro Star International aka MSI, Biostar, G.Skill, Gigabyte Technology, HTC, JMicron, LiteOn, MediaTek, MicroTek, RealTek, Tecom, Thermaltake, XGI Technology, and Zyxel are also manufacturers I've heard of and/or used stuff from and are also all Taiwanese companies.

In addition, a lot of the American companies make stuff in Taiwan. Corsair stuff is usually towards the higher end in quality and they make stuff in California and Taiwan.

You should be able to find out more specifically for anything by using the company website and wikipedia.

Good thread.

I was just reading how China either makes most things over there or is buying up all the companies here.
