I bought some cheap Chinese 2-way radios. The packaging has a big American flag and a "Designed in U.S.A." claim, which I suspect is bullshit given the company involved. Also, there are two Bible verses referenced. This smacks of pandering to a particular slice of conservative Americans. All I want is cheap radios for skiing with my kids next winter, not a reminder of my country's socio-political bullshit.

Weird, because baofeng is such an American name. Definitely designed in USA.

Ah wait. They mention package designed in USA. Yes that is totally believable. And then a unique color theme for the American version.

    Ok but we are a nation of immigrants. I could see a company in America having that name. I'd just assume the founder was either a Chinese immigrant or the child of one.
