> Agreed. I mentioned that in my last point about IP, which you conveniently ignored. Apologizes, you did indeed mention it, I was on mobile and skimmed past it. > I can't count how many Chinese-made things I've bought that ended up in the trash a few days/weeks/months after purchase. I also own a lot of poorly made Chinese electronics that have survived for years, so technically they pass QA, but are cheap feeling and annoying to use despite being expensive. Lenovo laptops come to mind. Having been to China multiple times, they have perfectly good electronics for sale domestically. Heck for some product categories, the electronics over there are better than what you can get in the United States. > Have you seen how rampant this is on Amazon, Wish.com, et al, let alone on Chinese owned retailers? Wish.com's entire business model is cheap crap. They are the online equivalent of a dollar store. The problem on Amazon is real, although I sometimes encounter some really good Chinese made products, not electronic but I recently purchased a shoe rack from a Chinese retailer on Amazon and it is worlds better than any of the shoe racks American brands are selling. I also remember a4tech back in the day, they had some absolutely amazing mice! I still miss my duel scroll wheel optical mouse, I loved that thing. > It's absolutely exhausting, and often impossible to avoid. A lot of people have given up entirely on purchasing from Amazon, but the convenience is a big factor for me. My issue is that American brands are also making crap products. You have companies like DJI making products so good that they put American competitors right out of business. But you also have a strange lack of quality smart watches out of China, figure someone who cares would make a smartwatch with quality firmware. I am genuinely confused as to why this hasn't happened yet.
