Explains why Leica refuses to ramp up production on flagship
products, as opposed to the Lumix stuff they rebrand.



Made in Japan used to be a sign of junk, Things can change.

Just because somebody wrote a book, doesn't make the statement a fact.



In 1967, Japan enacted a law that forbade Japanese companies from
exporting trash, it could only be sold in internally. This was to develop
export markets. China has no such prohibitions and the only reason any of
what they've done (to their own people for who knows how long) in-terms
of exporting garbage is because the West didn't like consuming plastic
filled with lead, or milk filled with melamine.
