Furukawa power cables

That's true, Geoff. Japan now uses China for production just like the US.

Isn't that the company that had the nuclear reactor melt down a few years back? Those cables probably glow!

"Curious as to why “made in Japan" cables ship predominately from China and Hong Kong?"

Possibly they are counterfeits. I know Furutech advises against purchasing “Furutech” labeled product that ships from China or Hong Kong.

Fukushima was the site of the nuclear disaster. Close. Very close. For the purposes of staying on topic I used to have a white power cord that was surplus from a commercial aircraft comm section. Sounded quite good. 

There are many fakes in eBay, especially from China.
