America sells brands. China sells for consumers.

But keep in mind that most US goods are assembled and manufactured in China. If you use an iphone, you will see "made in China" right on the box.

That is completely irrelevant and has nothing to do with Chinese goods made in China. When it is a real brand of the US such as Apple, then the manufacturing follows the high quality level of manufacturing as imposed by Apple -- what is available in China regularly or irregularly has nothing to do with that. Putting the price aside and any other issues that may be related, iPhones are a great example of one of the highest quality items to have ever been produced in recent history and it does not matter at all in which country it is done. It is not a reflection of the standards of the country, it is only a reflection of Apple.

Most people are only using their cheaper product. Very few are willing to spend money on their high end products, yet they are quick to assume that all Chinese goods have the same level of quality. In my opinion, looking down on Chinese goods is mostly based on prejudice rather than actual experience.

China is the world's factory and produces all kinds of goods at different quality levels. The cheap products you usually see are just one part of the market and cannot represent Chinese goods as a whole.

If you are talking about generic items and small gizmos that are being produced in China, yes those are shit. There is no such thing as "high level quality" Chinese product, 99.9% of Chinese products are junk and as such the exception can be ignored. Usually people who come to the defense of China have no idea what they are talking about. Aside from a few items or companies from the technology sector, literally everything else is junk. You invent some kind of "high end products" narrative for which you yourself do not have any examples of, since you have never actually seen or tried such a product. It may be more expensive, but it is still junk.

Actually, China has now started selling its own brands, and in recent years they own many companies that are doing very well in terms of sales. Even so, they are still far behind American brands. China has taken a step ahead in technology, and as a result, their brands have started to sell more. There is a very interesting race going on right now. In my opinion, China will be the winner of this race. There is still a general prejudice in the world against Chinese goods, regarding their low quality.

It's been a long time since China started selling their brands for other countries but guess what? The rest of the countroed are not accepting the names and I don't know why they stereotyped their brands. If Gucci and Versace release a brand today, the way blacks and other western cultures rush the products is scary, they have poison their minds that they have the best products but if the China produce the same quality of design but less price, they don't patronize.

I know brands spend millions to build their brands before they are able to penetrate the minds of the people, but it's not always about brands that determine quality wears. How many people even value brands if not for people that like to use it as way to leave fake life. Most often, people that wear those expensive wears don't have clean money yet they seems to impress the public the most.
