    I’ll take something made in China over something made in the US these days. America gutted their manufacturing sector, at this point it’s a lack of expertise.

      I don’t like buying electronic stuff from the US anymore, although that wasn’t made there anyway, but they are world class. US clothing brands are generally overpriced and not made there either, but it still would give me an illusion of quality. American cars also aren’t made there, but I don’t feel unsafe sitting in one. I don’t disagree with you but US goods still hold perception of high quality for me and many others. But it has decreased over time and my perception of the quality from China is increasing, so maybe I’ll say the same in the (near) future.
