It’s not just, but very much an american thing to say. It’s almost every video on youtube.“i bought this power tool for $4 from china and man it’s bad.” All the comments are: hahaha china only makes shit, who could’ve guessed.
You can buy the best literally everything from china. But it’s not gonna be cheap. But then it’s like:“that’s too expensive for something from china.”
I’m worried when something is “American made” because it’s an absolute gamble and the chances are really high that they use their weirdo measurements where you need magically sized tools to taje it apart.
Slave labor is illegal in China, and working conditions have continuously been improving year over year for decades. The upper-level comment applies directly to that type of thinking you’re doing here.
No, this is closer to fantasy than reality, you need to turn off Fox News. Regarding the treatment of Uyghurs, read Xinjiang: A Resource and Report Compilation, and there isn’t excessice state violence against workers organizing for better conditions. In fact, the state most often sides with the workers against capitalists.
I’ve recently been getting some stupidly high-quality stuff from China for insanely good prices.
Essentially, I’ve been buying stuff from Walmart that has been marked down over $100. What I think is happening is no-name Chinese companies try to make a high quality product and sell it for a premium, but then nobody buys it because of the reputation no-name Chinese companies have. Then, they still need to sell their inventory so we can get great products at great prices.
These bluetooth headphones from a company I’ve never heard on straight up shit on the Sennheisers I used to have that cost significantly more.
It’s more that China already produces so much of what, say, Statesians consume. US-based companies offshore production and sell domestically at higher prices, but if you go straight to the manufacturers, you can get closer to the prices the US-based companies are already buying them for. These products are often made at the same factories, even, but don’t have the US branding, that’s about it.
I got my glasses from a Chinese company that owns the entire chain of production. Excellent quality, and even lower priced than “cheap” American stores like Walmart that just resell.
I see that clearly when i buy products from Aliexpress or Temu and shops in Poland are full of literally the same items but 3-5 times the price. Hell some of the internet shops openly does the thing that you buys something and only then they order it in China for you but you still pay 3-5 times the price.
Thinking China is the same as it was 10-30 years ago and that Chinese products can’t have superior quality.
We’ve reached a point where the US doesn’t even know how to manufacture some of the stuff China can.

Glass shops are the same way.
They order their inventory on DHgate then mark it up at least 100%.
I think some Chinese brands need to own their premium prices. It might be difficult with electronics however.
There are steels that premium Chinese brands can make that are objectively better that nobody else has produced yet and they are VERY expensive.
They literally own the means of production
“They” just doesnt seem to be the average Chinese citizen.
The large firms and key industries in China are overwhelmingly publicly owned:
State owned to mean public owned depends on the robustness of the democratic pratices of the state to me
China is comprehensively democratic as well, and has high approval rates for it:
They literally own the workers
