You can show your nationalism by raising an American flag, as soon as the Chinese manufacturers tool up to produce enough for the increased demand.

  Subject: Vanagon parts from Japan?

  Regarding job layoffs and downsizing in the USA . . . 
  Joe Smith started the day early, having set his alarm clock (MADE IN 
  JAPAN) for 6 am . . . While his coffeepot (MADE IN CHINA) was perking . 
  . . he shaved with his electric razor (MADE IN HONG KONG). He put on a 
  dress shirt (MADE IN SRI LANKA), designer jeans (MADE IN SINGAPORE), and 
  tennis shoes (MADE IN KOREA). After cooking breakfast in his new 
  electric skillet (MADE IN INDIA), He sat down with his calculator (MADE 
  IN MEXICO), to see how much he could spend today. After setting his 
  watch (MADE IN TAIWAN), to the radio (MADE IN INDIA), he got in his car 
  (MADE IN GERMANY), and continued his search for a good paying AMERICAN 
  JOB !!! 

  At the end of yet another discouraging and fruitless day, Joe decided to 
  relax for a while. He put on his sandals (MADE IN BRAZIL), poured 
  himself a glass of wine (MADE IN FRANCE), and turned on his TV (MADE IN 
  INDONESIA), and wondered why he can't find a good paying job ( in 
  AMERICA) !!!
