Jim, this hobby stuff can get really complicated.
In this case I was buying paint made by a Japanese company that was distributed by an export company in Taiwan. I support Taiwan, so no harm, no foul.
I've bought model kits made by GWH (Great Wall Hobby) and Hobby Boss that are located in mainland China HOWEVER, they were distributed/exported/shipped out of, you guessed it, Taiwan.
In one of those "How about that" ironies, the most accurate model you can buy of a Los Angeles class submarine was designed and molded in the PRC.
