I think his wtf moment came when he realised that he confused vietnam and taiwan.

But if it makes you feel any better. Most parts that say made in Taiwan are outsourced so don't worry. It's not made in Taiwan.

(it's made in China, shipped to taiwan, checked according to Taiwan standards, which are higher, and then boxed and shipped)

I had to read the date/time stamp of this thread, because this is some old news.

Paul Yaffe? Or CCI? CCI been Taiwan for ever.

Paul Yaffe is a fad and cost more for his name, yet your box clearly says CCI. Would it have been cheaper to just buy the CCI tank thru CCI?

On the other hand, it's better than having Charlie make it.

Why not just post on one of the hundreds of threads already devoted to your WTF moment? Is it really a news flash that many things are not made in the USA?
