Now this may sound naive, but: WHY do you (and so many with you) object to
production in China? I have seen some very good quality coming from over there
(Atlas model trains comes to mind).
I realy don't know why China would be a worse place than, say, Denmark. If a
move of production towards China would save the Lego Company from going down
completely, I would think all AFOLs would support that?
