If you look around. Over 80% stuff around you are made in China.
You are dead long time ago.

That's a strange thing to say to someone who's tank exploded? I assume you are just poking fun at China for making crap - in which case, I guess it's funny.

Anyway, most of my hardware comes from somewhere in Europe.

I just want to say
"made in China" is not equal to bad and most of the time there is no choice.
"made in Italy" is not equal to good.

I understand, but it doesn't mean other country won't make fake product.
I just want to say 'Made in China doesn't mean bad.
I bet more than one of lighting fixture in anyone's house is made in China.
Anyone scare it may explode?

When it was time for a new heater I did search the net and came upon the tanks with the bomb hole, still couldn't believe the heater did this. But as a precaution I took it out of my tank(I used this heater for over a year)Now I only use it to do water changes.
So sorry for everyone's bad luck, it must be devastating.
