      I'm sure you don't own anything made in China then. Canada, famous producer of consumer goods farquaad-point

      Whatever little is actually made in Western countries anymore is shit quality designed to fall apart to make more profit just like everything else.

          China is such an excellent test for how gullible someone is. So many people will believe any bad thing they read on the internet about it, no matter how absurd, and no matter how easy it is to disprove.

          So there's a whole fucking Hundred Acre Wood exhibit, Pooh and all, but I guess if you text someone about it Xi appears from under your bed and black bags you? xibe-check

        Well I do have one, but only this one item from Germany which I would say is pretty good. A Lamy Safari.

        But that is seriously my only thing at home from Germany which I would consider high quality, hell all my Thinkpads are from China after all. Lmao

        So they excel at trinkets maybe? Lol
