It’s really impressive the lack of knowledge in the US about china’s products. I can definitely say you have never been inside a BYD or GWM EV. The US car brands have no chance of durvival, the government wants to give them time to die a slow death so employees and shareholders have time to relocate to other industries. The only problem I’d that the ones paying the price will be, as always, the US customers. Just to give you a point of reference, the price for a Tesla 3 equivalent in china is 20,000 USD, let that sink.
The thing is, cheap or expensive everything is made in china. You can buy a BYD and have state of the art technology in a car or a Chirey and pay peanuts for a car that does the job. Just like you can buy an iphone, made in china, or a Xiaomi for 50 bucks.
Cheap shit from China is horrendously bad and good quality Chinese goods are just as expensive as domestic products.
And here we are. Full circle.
The original Ender3 is a good example of a cheap 3D printer that went through almost zero QA. By some miracle, most printers worked and still do. However, it doesn’t take much to dig and find all the ones that were shipped with fake XTC connectors and were a fire hazard. There are plenty more examples I could dig up from personal experience. (We won’t even get into all the tools I have fixed where the chassis is referenced to mains or high voltage components had no, or insufficient, grounding.)

I know, right? If people actually opened up those cheap electronics they get from Temu or Amazon, they might actually see how dangerous they can be.
