To some extent, yes (we want good stuff as cheap as possible) and yes of course this applies to other manufactured "off-shore" goods. By the way: I own an iphone as well... that is why this makes me even more so sad (as being part of this subsystem). Things have to change I don't have a proper solution though but I hope it will work out as time passes (e.g. people of China building an honest as possible democratic system, us ("the west") becoming less spoiled, etc.).
