Yeah dude, it’s racist to say “the Chinese make bad quality products” as if race has anything to do with it. It’s just basic economics and the country’s found a (apparently very profitable) niche. You’re a fool to believe that “the Chinese” can’t make high-quality, premium stuff domestically.
It’s funny how everyone forgets that all of our favorite high quality and hard to manufacture electronics are made by Chinese companies as well. The Chinese have perfected manufacturing from the lowest end garbage all the way to cutting edge. It’s impressive honestly.
Everyone wants “[thing], cheaper,” and forty years ago, it was Japan, sixty, West Germany. Hell, China doesn’t even make most of the disposable junk you think of when you hear “Made in China” these days, their manufacturing has matured past that and most of that injection-molded, high-tolerance, lowest-bidder stuff has been shipped further down SEA.

No one forgets that. Our “quality products” may be manufactured in China and elsewhere but they’re engineered in other countries, and the manufacturing quality has high standards, which is what actually matters.
Still extremely skeptical of expensive chinesium garbage. I don’t see they cars lasting 5 years let alone more. It’s cheap for a reason.
I love thinly veiled racism. As if the American automakers aren’t building their cars out of 90% “Chinesium” anyway
I love thinly-veiled race-baiting.
The Chinese have a well-earned reputation for pumping out cheap disposable garbage.
I don’t agree with the other poster but just pinning racism on it is a lazy way to handle a conversation that requires more nuance.
“The Chinese” =/= China’s economic exports.

Could’ve sworn most quality electronic stuff is made in Taiwan.
The chips are made in taiwan but the other components - battery, phone body, etc are made in china and assembled in china or more recently India
Which may or may not be part of China, depending on who you ask… (don’t ask me, I’m just a random dude on the other side of the world)
They actually have the entire world by the balls and for some reason we all accept it

I would be if that’s what I had said. But no one said that.
“Expensive chinesium” and “cheap for a reason” doesn’t add up.
I feel like if the product was that bad or unreliable it simply wouldn’t sell the way it has been.
Sure cost plays a part but if it’s cheap enough to be a buying factor, odds are it’s cheap enough to buy outright or have it paid off early.
You mean like Shein And Temu? Such great Chinese quality there.
From the recent reviews I’ve seen in Australia (BYD has a large presence there) everyone comes away extremely impressed.
There are Chinese EV taxis and buses in Singapore service for over five years since their introduction.
