    "r/avoidchineseproducts" is just the saddest thing i've seen all week, people posting about how they found a fucking ladle or lightbulbs that were not made in china; if anything it highlights how barren of a concept this is

      Pretty sure there is an entire industry in the West of people taking Chinese / Asian-produced goods, and just changing a label somewhere so they can say made in America / made in Europe.

        Virtually all "made in USA" products are like this at this point. Made abroad and then they have a machine in Nebraska or something that attaches a little piece to the rest. Tons of cars are built in Mexico and they just screw down the last screw on the seats in the US, Can openers are built in China and then they attach the rubber handles in the US.
