My Asus CUSL2-C is made in CHINA!!!..... HELL NO..... :(

[j@cko]

MADE IN CHINA.... I couldn't believe it when I first saw the label, I bet this board will die within 2 weeks.

 

[John]

Return it then.....

 

[rhinox99]

Aren't most mobos made in Taiwan anyways? Is that so big of a difference?

 

[Mysterio]

Hmm...what's wrong w/ 'Made in China'??
Well, I think they've improved on their QC over the years...
hey isn't Taiwan part of China? Is it more acceptable if it's made in Taiwan??

 

[rhinox99]

I bet you it won't die in 2 weeks unless you try to kill it on purpose

 

[j@cko]

TAIWAN IS not PART OF CHINA!!!!!.....

 

[Mysterio]

Taiwan not part of China? Well, let's dun talk politics here...
btw, have u stuff that says something like ' Made in Taiwan, R.O.C' ??

 

[Syborg1211]

Wow, I never thought that Made in China label to be a label of the devil or something. I never actually paid any attention to where something was made in.

 

[rickn]

Quite a few of the Taiwanese motherboard makers are starting to move manufacturing to China

<<TAIWAN IS not PART OF CHINA!!!!!.....>>

I hate to disagree, but it is the truth, Taiwan would never admit it though.

Furthermore, there is nothing wrong with mobos that are made in China, even a quality manufacturer like Asus do that, dont you think that everyone of them are doing that? I can tell you for a fact, check every mobo manufacturer's web site and their company info, they usually tell you where they setup their factories, 9 out of the 10 big mobo makers have factories in China.

Asus is a Taiwanese company, and like a LOT of Taiwanese companies, they've moved some of their production facilities to China to take advantage of the lower average wage, taxes, etc. It doesn't necessarily mean that the quality is lower because the production plant operates under the company's original quality-control standards.

 

[Pariah]

Taiwan is a province of China and has been under its rule since 1945 when they gained control back from Japan. Check out some history books jack. You've missed over 50 years of history. Man has landed on the moon too. A lot of things you use are made in China that you probably don't know about, doesn't mean the quality sucks.

There's nothing wrong with Made in China motherboard. Some cheap manufacturers uses cheaper components for their motherboard (Memory DIMM slot, AGP slot, CPU socket) but this never happen to Asus or MSI or Gigabyte.

 

[LXi]

Pariah,

Do you know whehter your DM+60s are made in Singarpore or the US?

 

[sleepdragon]

Taiwan=R.O.C.=Republic of China
China=P.R.O.C.=People's Republic of China

Unlike Hong Kong which is now part of People's Republic of China, China's government has never control the soil of Taiwan.....not even for just a second...Taiwan has it's own government, own officials, own presidents, and it practices democracy....so let's get the facts straight...ok...

but I would have to agree that let's not talk about politics here...

 

[LXi]

However, you cannot deny that they're the same people, with the same ancestors, same traditions , same culture, same 5000 years of history background, speak the same languages, and have the same holidays. I find it disturbing that Taiwanese are not to be accociated with Chinese. Its very clear that Taiwan has never been recognized an legitimate nation.

 

[SurfinDaNet]

I've been thinking about getting the CUSL2-C mobo. Are they all made in China or should I look on the box first? Though I can't imagine why it would matter...

Taiwan is a Chinese Province, regardless of what the Nationalists in Taiwan claim. Taiwan claims to be the home of the Government for all of China, while China claims the same of Taiwan. Pick your side, but if it came to a war without outside intervention, I think we know who would win.

Both were made in Singapore LXI.

<< Taiwan would never admit it though. >>

Actually, they have since 1945. It's odd people don't know this, considering that it's part of both non-Chinese and Chinese history books (both in the PRC and the ROC). In fact, if you go to the Taiwanese gov't websites, they also say Province of China, NOT country of Taiwan. Now the difference lies in what the mainland and what Taiwan consider the ruling the government. The mainland obviously considers the Communist party to be the ruling party over all, while the Kuomingtang considers itself (on paper) the ruling party in exile over the mainland. It's all political mumbo jumbo, but the fact remains that both sides consider Taiwan a province of China, and always have, even if economically they have been completely separate.

That said, there's nothing wrong with having your products made in China, whether it'd be ROC or PRC. Check your mouse. I betcha it's made in Taiwan, or China, or Malaysia, or Singapore, etc. Check your Intel PIII. I wouldn't be surprised if it's made in Malaysia or Costa Rica or the Philippines. Or how about that motherboard? The majority are already made in Taiwan, with lots of companies moving to the mainland for cheaper labour (but with the same quality standards). Asus has continued to demonstrate that they make good products. If they want to move to a different location for their manufacturing, that's no big deal to me as long as their products are still good and their warranties still apply. It's a global village now folks.

 

[LXi]

The DM+60 review unit over at GamersDepot is made in USA, I wonder how those compare to Singarpore, or is there a difference? I know the Japan made Quantums are better than those made in Thailand.

 

[WileCoyote]

united state's policy on taiwan is that it is separate.

complaining about something being made in china is as bad as the people who dont buy emachines because they are made in korea. yes, emachines ARE crap, but that's not korea's fault, they can put together a cheaper computer than we can. i work at best buy and it pisses me off when people look at the emachines and go &quot;psh im not buying something made in korea&quot;. it should be: &quot;psh im not buying something thats a piece of crap&quot;

 

[LXi]

Eug:

Very well stated, I completely agree.



WileCoyote:

Are you still looking at the Clinton administration?

 

[Shu8]

haha jackc20_00, look what you started.

anyway...i agree taiwan is part of china but doesn't seem like it. if only taiwan can win independence which would be...never

 

[Smith]

&quot;Made in China&quot; is a political misnomer. They REALLY mean Taiwan. Trouble is they consider themselves the real China and that mainland Chinese as the &quot;lost&quot; China. Depends on your point of view I guess as to whos is &quot;lost&quot;.

99% of all MB's are &quot;Made in China&quot;, but that DAH... refers to Taiwan !

 

[rickn]

Smith: not really. Most of their manufacturing has been on the Island of Taiwan, but now quite of few of them are moving manufacturing to mainland China.

As for Taiwan, they certainly do not want to be directly recognized as part of China. The government of Taiwan was created by political dissidents ran out of China. Also, Taiwan is protected by the US Nuclear umbrella. China would be very foolish to try and take Taiwan by force.
