    “The Chinese” =/= China’s economic exports.

    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.

        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)

          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.
