Americans are sufficiently upset the Dutch owner of a Swedish car manufacturer has partnered with two Chinese automotive companies (and a Russian banker) to save the Swedish brand, that they avow to never again buy this brand - all supported by nationalistic rants.
I feel more betrayed by the likes of the $80,000 Cadillac Escalade EXT ( and $50K 9-4X) being built in Mexico by workers who receive so little pay that GM provides them with free breakfast so the line workers won't pass out due to hunger and fall into the machinery injuring themselves - than I do about well paid employees in Sweden assemblying automobiles they can afford to buy and where slightly more than half the profits will go to two Chinese companies and the other portion going to a Dutch company.
I avoid projucts made in countries where labor is exploited. I avoid products made with poor quality. This excludes many products made in China but not all, and I can't see where it will exclude a product built in Sweden.
