My D80 of four years was made in Thailand....

So was my D70.

For that matter, so was my previous Honda.

Has Nikon in fact been "trying to keep production out of the land of
Mao?" And if so, why?

Because their quality control is lacking? I don't care if the Japanese
camp-out in the factories, you don't get the same result as Made in
Japan.

Can you tell the difference between an image produced by a lens/body
made in China vs. made in Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, or The
Philippines, vs. made in Japan?

Just from the photo, not knowing beforehand where the camera/lens was
made?

If so please post two images, one from a Japanese-made rig and one from
a Chinese-made rig, stripped of exif data, so we can see the wisdom of
your vision.

Otherwise you are just blowing smoke.

Yep, the Whacky Weed kind.
