Yes, but I am sure the workers who they hired back are all pretty appreciative right now.
While they may be using some foreign material, they are using Americans to make their product, unlike Uncle Mikey, who's workforce now probably includes children in China that are paid peanuts.
It just disturbs me that we as a country, have not supported businesses that stay here enough to show companies they will lose in the long run if they move. If we boycotted companies like this one enough then they would stay.
Here's an interesting photo:

Hans M. Kristensen, director of the Nuclear Information Project at the Federation of American Scientists (FAS), spotted the images, photographed by the commercial Quickbird satellite in late 2006.
One photo is of what is apparently the new Type 094 Jin-class SSBN at the Xiaopingdao base near Dalian, FAS reported.

China's military has grown very strong through our years of supporting their economy by buying their goods. Our greed and apathy toward unscrupulous companies because of a little savings will be our demise if we do not stop.
