What about them being made in china makes them less respectable? Are they any less durable? I can tell you from personal experience that my Ride's have been bulletproof, can't necessarily the same for my made in the usa GNU. Guess where the vast majority of bindings are made as well? Yep, china. I could care less where the board is actually made. As long as it rides well and is durable that is all that matters to me.

With all the protectionist "buy local" sentiments, one would expect the same to be applied to snowboard manufacturers. Or not.
