I agree.
The majority is in China.
I know North has a factory in Sri Lanka.
Who else produces outside of China?

I have recently been informed that Weifang, china, is the kiteing capital of the world.
Quite a revelation no ?

the funny thing would be to know how many kite companies work with the same manufacturer?
How many different brands can get out of the same factory?

I think in most factories they produce several brands.
