Questionable, my aunt bought a bunch of Chinese crap, and it’s all badly made and barely fulfills its functions. For example, the kettle has a handle that barely holds and is constantly wobbly, the meat grinder has a blade so blunt that it doesn’t even cut… meat, and so on.
Also, these things were probably made by slaves (and some of them, like phones, may be spyware), so…
If you buy shit, you get shit. If you go on Amazon looking for a Chinese-made chef’s knife, the options are $5 to $150.
Thank you, Captain Obvious, too bad that people aren’t mages and can’t understand the quality of a product through a screen, right?
If you want to blame someone for having a home full of chinese shit, the blame isn’t on China. It’s on your aunt lmao.
Am I supposed to blame my aunt for the fact that Chinese shit out poorly made crap? Strange logic, but she should definitely stop buying this crap… too bad she’s the type of person who doesn’t listen to anyone. Anyway, good thing is that my house isn’t full of Chinese crap, because I don’t buy it, she only gave me a few things, but I trashed those things to hell long ago.
If she’s shopping on Temu with white labeled products, she’s going to get what she paid for. Sounds like you’ve also concluded she’s the problem. She’s the demand side of the equation. If there’s demand for cheaply made crap, there will be more cheaply made crap.
There are also ways to gauge the quality of products before buying online. You make it sound like it’s impossible. Like reviews and research and buying from reputable brands that have good track records. Most of which are likely manufactured in China, but with actual quality assurance.
While I still say buying local is king, you’re like way too irrationally angry at this. Likely because she’s offloading cheap crap onto you and making it your problem.
Better than American overpriced garbage.

Yeah, you’re probably right. Though, I will still avoid Chinese goods whenever possible, not because of the quality, but because of China.
