I'm not going to do your research.  Clearly you are a paid shill for the Chinese.

You stated numerous times that these Chinese products use FAKE XMLs.

EDITED to add:

More accurately, the Chinese hate us, freedom, and fair trade.  When we let China cheat on the WTO rules of fair trade for 30 years, many consumers will now sell out USA manufacturing and jobs to save $30. 

Fenix is also made in China but at least there is still some design and jobs here.

Why do you hate democracy?

This is wrong, Fenix is a Chinese company started in 2001. All the design and manufacturing jobs for the brand is in China. 

This is their head office.

2F/3F, West of Building A, Xinghong Technology Park, 111 Shuiku Road, Fenghuanggang Community, Xixiang Street, Bao'an District, Shenzhen City, Guangdong Province, China

Fenix is simply a clever way to say Phoenix. A mythological Chinese creature.

Any flashlight afficiendo can tell you this.

As someone descended from Chinese immigrants I am appalled at your casual racism on these climbing forums.

Questioning the sincerity and authenticity of a post isn't racist, Jay Wong, "joined 1 day ago."  Calling someone "racist" is what people do who have no intelligent argument. It's all the rage these days!

Time for this thread to be locked or hidden. No longer productive.

Casual racism is par for the course on MP. They defend it. Bashing China's human rights abuses, IP theft, copyright abuse, oppression of free speech, and outright fraud in regards to safety is far from racism, however. And basing the questionable behaviour of some is not bashing all. 

Casual racism is the kindest thing you could call the Chinese government's engagement with the Uyghurs. Your attempt to call out a poster here for racism rings a little shallow compared to that. On the surface it appears that you're using that as a defensive mechanism and not as a true expression of hurt or offense. 

In regards to the OP, I couldn't care less if he is promoting products or just being helpful. People sell shit on MP every single day and most adults can figure out if the products being sold have value to them, or meet their politically correct standards for purchase.
