The product topological space of two finite closed topologies is not finite closed.
$begingroup$
Let $X_1, X_2$ be infite sets and $tau_1$and $tau_2$ the finite closed topologies on $X_1$ and $X_2$ respectively.
Show that the product topology $tau$ on $X_1times X_2$ is not the finite closed topology.
As $X_1$ is infite then if ${x}in X$ then $X_1setminus{x}intau_1$.
Then ${x}times X_2$ is by definition an open set in the product topology space however its complement is ${x}times X_2$ is not finite as $X_2$ is infinite contradicting the fact ${x}times X_2$ is closed. Therefore ${x}times X_2$ is not open. Then the product topology cannot be the finite closed topology.
Questions:
Is this proof right? If not why not? Which are the alternatives?
Thanks in advance!

${x} times X_2$ is not open, but it is closed. Since it is infinite, we are done.
