Chinese products are junk

[Artemis3]

I think most supplier and manufacturer are from China, even the famous or expensive brands like Nike, Apple, Canon, Adidas, etc because the items that are being used are cheaper in China. It is why most products nowadays are made from China, even their products are not durable enough they are still cheap.

the smallest capital and a large profit is the slogan for all companies that have factories in China...
the majority of the world's population is only concerned with price and not quality, and China offers cheap raw materials and low employee salaries to attract investors to go there, my advice is for important items such as cellphones and vehicles, don't buy Chinese products because they are at very risk of being damaged quickly.

If you are going to buy an electronic good then it is very rare to find a product which is not made form chinese and as you said every cellphone parts are made in China so no matter how much you are paying there will be a Chinese product present in it.But when it comes to Automobile they are still crap and most of their brands just copy the international car models.Even you can buy Rolls Royce copy for few thousands.

They copy them because they make them there... When you say don't buy Chinese, most of the time, you ARE buying Chinese. And then they easily siphon out whatever technique, design, trade secret the plant there does and gets spread to the Chinese companies. Ie: you had a workforce working years for Ford, Chevrolet whatever, Trump got angry and made them pack and return. What do you think happens to that workforce? They already know a lot...

Globalization: The genie is out of the bottle. There is no going back to the 50ies anymore. No amount of protectionism can make America make things again, because if they do, they are too expensive, and are not as good as, say, Europeans. Except the rare exception like Tesla, but look at what talents Elon brought to that company and how he lowered costs (robots). See, the American wage is just too high, that's why Americans don't make things anymore; at least not in mass quantities like the Chinese and other Asians can.

When was the last time you checked where your product was made? Apple "Designed in LA" garbage writing to not admit they made it at suicide factory Foxconn?

What about Amazon Resellers - selling stuff that failed quality inspections ?

Or knock-offs

Or anything that's cheap and the re-sellers can make a profit - it just has to last 30 days, right...

China products are cheap and has low quality though its affordable to buy. Most of cheap products here (dress, gadgets, toys you name it) came from china but many people still buy because of the price compared to expensive products in malls.

Is it the Chinese strategy basically? Exporting very cheap low quality products, while using the money to import high quality products from the rest of the world?

The concept of Chinese products is all about high turnover - if something brakes, just buy it new. Just looking on the most stores in my city focusing on the cheapest low end products. And unfortunately the consumers fall for it.

in fact by now almost everything is produced in china, even the big fashion brands and cell phones, but in my opinion it is not worth spending a lot for a branded product you can spend little (I'm talking about mobile phones) buy a Chinese phone and modify it in a way which has the same performance as a much more expensive phone is the best choice for me

Is China Phone an be Modified?sorry but most of china phones are having an issue shortly after purchasing ,there are some apps that is not applicable in their version i don't know if it was intended or isolated cases but like the Unit i bought for my Son now that he needs to use in Online class the apps ZOOM is not functioning good in terms of Audio.i don't know if someone has the same experience also?

Some of their items are junk. I bought items from Aliexpress like bracelet and they are totally a piece of crap. Some items are not junk too. I bought bike balls which I got some good deal from Alibaba.com. I also got toys and some of them are worth it. But it takes 30 days to arrive. LOL.

[Naida_BR]

Not true.
Most of the Chinese products are legit.
Just have a look at the brands that are distributed all over the world. Xiaomi has the best products in low prices. And all brands create their products in China so all of them can be considered as Chinese.

Depend on the quality of their product and i believe that depend also in your countries policies,because there are some classifications as i have experienced .

There are 1 kind of items that i compared both from china,the first one is really a crap and the next are Good.
Meaning there are other that you will really hate and some will love.

[franky1]

china make everything
the labour is low. but if they have to use good materials. and then send it to a testing facility test multiple materials to find the one that gets good quality then that adds on costs.

so when the op says 'buy cheap' he obviously is getting the crap chinese stuff thats not gone through alot of testing and redeveloping.. so its just not the good chinese stuff

i guarantee you if something is made in UK/US and its cheap. dont expect quality.

some stuff that has been around for a while people can copy and know whats good stuff without going through their own testing/developing procedures. so they can get it cheaper. which is why when you something never seen before its premium and later batches get cheaper.

and some thats new but cheap is bad quality in many cases

[Kamilaz]

I mean, the apple's iphone is manufactured in china, so...
But like i totally get it, the cheap chinese products ARE bad quality

[aiguy]

Not all products are junks, they make categories of each product like one product make for different countries, like for rich countries its quality will be outstanding, for mediocre countries make normal quality, and for poor countries make low quality as for cheap.

[iwnlfr]

China is the most powerful creator on the world, some of their products are not in good quality but most of them are and we all are using their stuff and all the world does us their workers. I can’t say that they are not good at all for us but these days they have to work hard on stuff as gaming chairs, phones to bring us good quality of it hopefuly.

[FaceTehWind]

Most products are made in china now but some aren't terrible. Some work for a long peroid of time and just is better than other choices available.

Some are good, some are bad.
