I think my views on China, and specifically about not buying made-in-China products, have been posted enough that I need not repeat them all.

However in the context of comparing China of today to Japan of thirty years ago...

There is a huge difference between economic competition as practiced by Japan back then, and the economic threat that is China, specifically because of the military, environmental, political, and human rights threats that go hand-in-hand with China today, and which never existed with Japan thirty years ago.
