with all this tariff stuff, i keep seeing libs coping that we dont need chinese manufacturing anyway (lmfao) because “they can only make cheap garbage”

these people are so fucking stupid.

US companies are ORDERING cheaply made garbage to sell you at massive profits for themselves. that doesnt mean china is incapable of making good reliable shit. your companies dictate the quality of what they’re having manufactured there. they use the cheapest materials, the lowest level of quality assurances and checks, and this is all to save them money at the expense of the product’s reliability and at YOUR expense. you’re a piggy being fed the slop you paid for. welcome to america.

Westerners broadly don't understand that companies who contract factories in China to make shit are ultimately in control of the quality. They will only pay a certain price for goods, so corners need to be cut, worse materials, skipped steps, less QA, etc..

Every country has their own standards. These standards don't apply to the exports. That is responsibility of importing country. Honestly, huawei exceeds my expectations with a 5 year old phone that was for low budget customer even when it was brand new. I needed to replace battery recently, it was pillowing, it costed me no more than 15 dollars for new original battery replacement from official tech support
