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.

I don't think China is intentionally making cheap stuff. Because they very well do make high precision stuff too. I think some casio watches off the top of my head are made in China. They're made pretty well too. Ofc some are made in Thailand and their best stuff is made in Japan so they can keep a tighter watch on their most elite stuff.

Stuff in China is made cheap because that's what people ask for. If people want more expensive stuff I have no doubt that China can produce that as well. Because of China's ultra capitalist industrial machine, they are capable of producing so much so quick for so cheap.
