What's wrong with Made In Taiwan? The Valentis are made in TW as well as all the semiconductors you use.

I meant the wording. The whole auction description is very poorly written. Dont go putting words in my mouth, ive never once criticized products from any country.

Sorry misunderstood... maybe should've left the top line off cus that's the first thing I saw. Asian countries are known for their poor english. Product should still be okay. TW actually has a reputation for quality manufacturing. Feel free to criticize Chinese manufacture though

Furthermore, you should check your facts. Taiwan actually doesnt have that many semicon fabs:

http://www.10stripe.com/featured/map...uctor-fabs.php

There are several fabs all over Europe, the US, China, and Japan.

For more information, check out semicon sales:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semicon..._for_year_2012


As someone who has worked in the semicon industry for a fair amount of time, saying every semiconductor inside of every product I supposedly use is made in Taiwan is insulting. In today's global economy there are literally millions of sources of inexpensive semiconductors and components.

Amen. All these tail lights with the "boomerang" glowing strips remind me of neon lights, like all the ricers had under their cars a few years ago...
I just want a simple red taillight. And while I'm at it I want some cool replacement side vents that AREN'T carbon fiber or cost $400... But that's another rant altogether.
