Ngl I did too at first. But I was sceptical because Kingston sounds like a British bourgeois suburb rather than a chinese company (and upon my research I found out that both of my prejudice claims turned out to be true since Kingston upon Thames is literally a Royal London district where "some Saxon kings were crowned" - Wikipedia 💀). I didn't think it was impossible, but rather unlikely.

It is US American

Sauce: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingston_Technology

Additional info:

Kingston is #1 with 34% market share (nothing new, just put it here for context reasons)

Adata (#2 with 11%), Gigabyte (#7 with 2%) & Transcend (#10 with 1%) are Taiwanese. I assume they are going to set sail for the West as soon as Taiwan gets reincorporated

Lexar (#3 with 11%) is US American owned by a Chinese parent company

Kimtigo (#4 with 9%), Biwin (#5 with 7%) & Colorful (#6 with 5%) are from the PRC

Teclast (#8 with 2%) is likely Chinese, don't have solid evidence tho

PNY (#9 with 1%) is US American

That makes 35% for the US, 14% for Taiwan and 34% for the PRC (if you count Lexar as Chinese - idk how much they are still linked to the US tho)

Die meisten Diktaturen heutzutage haben "Wahlen" nur sind die hald eine ziemliche Clownshow. Um den Schein zu wahren und die Regierung zu legitimieren behalten die Nüsse ihren Namen also.

Workers, hearken, they are going to war

And they yell: "For nation and race!"

This war is the rulers of the world's

Against the working classes!‎

The irony is that production was only stopped after Hiroshima and Nagasaki as nobody wanted to buy radioactive toothpaste any more. So the US which developed nukes against the Germans actually saved the Germans from radioactive poisoning by dropping said nukes on Japan.

One could say it left a bitter taste in some German's mouths. ^(I couldn't resist)
