Are all Televue eyepieces manufactured in Taiwan or do some still come out of Japan?

I think it's about half and half now. The new type 6 Naglers are made in Japan, other Naglers are made in Taiwan. Radians are made in Taiwan, Plossls in Japan. I think Panoptics are made in Taiwan. The Nagler Zoom is made in Japan. The Barlows are made in Japan. I think the Powermates are made in Japan also, but I really can't remember about those now.
I know there's always keen interest in this issue because in the old days there was apparently good reason to prefer Japan as the source. But I've seen no evidence that this has validity any longer wrt to these specific two possibilities, Japan versus Taiwan.
