Yes, even companies like NIKON moved to the dark side. Recently I was looking at a new flashgun for my gear and, to my surprise, it now says
MADE IN CHINA
I was very happy with gear made in Japan, I was still happy when most of cameras and lenses came from Thailand.
The Granny in the Bubun village
But recently it becomes more and more difficult to ensure that whilst I try to capture an unspoilt landscape or endangered animal, the gear I use might have contribute to great environmental disasters through contributing taxes to governments with little concern?
This is a good questions for many photographers to address: can I look into the eyes of some nations knowing that the lens I look through contributes to their suffering???
All this thoughts crammed into my mind whilst spending time in Aboriginal village of Bunun tribe up in Taiwanese mountains...
