The consumers should be informed that manufacturer and the brand(backed by quality reputation) associated to it represent the value that people spend money for, is more important than the location where manufacturing activity actually takes place. I just can't believe that, under normal situation, Jap cusumers place the later as an critical factor when it comes to makingpurchasing decision. Blowing this incident out of proportion just disrrupt this normal market condition. Media is very irresponsible for doing this kind of thing.
