Literally almost everything you own or purchase was manufactured in China, and has been for 30+ years. They’ve risen most of their population out of poverty and have been stringently educating their youth as well. “Ghost cities” are becoming populated urban centers, as they planned.
They have the manpower, infrastructure, and smarts to absolutely beat us at our own game, and our rich, Republican billionaire elites fucking sold it to them for the chance to lower labor costs and keep more of the profit themselves.
And you’re still like “hurrr durr Chinese shit cheap” like dude you’re typing on a device made in china, even the most top of the line shit. You’re already IN China, my man.
@4am@Fake4000 too true. The same quality issue was levelled at Japan 50 years ago and now they are the go to for quality cars. My kids have a Polestar (not cheap) made in China and so far no faults and they love it. #evs#china
Considering even Tesla’s cars in China is of higher quality then the same model build in the US. I am inclined to doubt the quality of electric vehicles not built in China.
Dunno about cars but generally this is outdated. So many times I have bought all sorts of things from china that end up being the exact same as the local stuff minus the brand name for like 2% of the cost. A lot of things end up being at best “assembled in the USA” with china parts and sub assemblies too.
China have become very good at manufacturing, thanks to all the western companies outsourcing over the years. Nowadays Made in china means reasonable quality at a good price, they are amazing at hiting certain privepoints with as high of a quality you could expect.
Give them a high quality pricepoint and they outdo any western company. I think that is what is happening here
Generally don’t trust their build quality.

Based on what though? Any hard facts or is it just like racism or xenophobia or something?
