    the west did this with the soviet union too

    everything made by the ussr was supposedly shoddy and inferior and falling apart but they were simultaneously the great and scary red menance to the west

      Meanwhile fridges and hairdryers and practically anything made in the USSR can still function to this day as long as it was taken care of, but the same product from the west craps out after 5-10 years no matter how well it is taken care of.

        People still buy vacuum tubes made in the ussr for guitar amps. First time I ever saw a russian datasheet was a Soviet VFD. Wild that components made in a country that doesn't exist anymore lasted long enough to still be sold.
