Is it ownership or where the product is made? I've been thinking about this for awhile, and some recent threads reminded me of it. I didn't want to hijack those threads, so here goes.

For example:

G Loomis is American-made but foreign-owned (just like my Toyota truck.) OTOH, BnM Poles is Chinese-made and American-owned.

Which is the American product? Loomis? BnM? Both? Neither?

This is not a trick question. I'm just looking for opinions.
