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.

Anyone scare it may explode?

Oh Jackie. Give it a rest. Everyone knows that not everything that comes from China is crap, but let's be honest. A lot of 'made in China' products are are of very poor quality. That's because they cut corners to keep costs down. This is not a secret. It is the Chinese economy. These heaters are crap no matter how you look at it, and they were made in China. Let's call a spade a spade. My tank almost blew up!
