China: No EPA, ADA, HHS, OSHA, IMSHA, NLRB, ICC...etc. Coming from a small farming society, which had a large demand for small power units, with "dirt cheap" labor in the factories, small diesel engine production made sense. The US does not have the demand for tens of thousands of these small machines any more. Perhaps in the future, if things continue down the road we are on, subsistence farms may make a necessary comeback.
When you figure in the manufacturing "cost", it is better for the environment to rebuild a good machine multiple times than, throw it away and buy several new inexpensive ones.
