Well, there are many things in your life that you buy from China that don't have a semiconductor in it.
For instance, I was shocked to find out that a lot of "Brazilian" honey was actually rebranded corn syrup imported from China and cut with low-grade Chinese honey, this all to get around U.S. import restrictions due to the lack of quality/safety regulation in China.
It's expensive, it's tiring, it's hard. But, in the end I feel it's worth it for the safety of my family and others. Whether it's honey, a sketchily-soldered power supply, or some completely fake lithium ion battery for your vacuum that only has 25% of rated capacity and might burn your house down, it's best to stay away from the Chinese option if you can.

After spending tons of time trying to find a reputable supplier the answer ended up being either: 1) I need to befriend a local beekeeper 2) I need to pick up beekeeping You may think, that's too much work but really the honey you're buying at the store stands a really good chance of simply being sugar with only a trace of honey. Not good for you.
- anonymouskimmer 4y agoThe local honey unfortunately shreds my intestines. :( But I haven't really had honey since then so the point is moot.
