I do agree there is a common sentiment that Chinese products are inferior to their American counterparts
Which products? China has made serious strides in manufacturing quality over the last few decades. But they do produce most of the cheaper products as well. I’m not disagreeing with you that is the sentiment in the USA.
Well if we are talking about sentiments, I can’t recall a single product where anyone prefers a Chinese counterpart compared to European, Canadian, American, Japanese etc product.
Not sure if the blame can be put on Chinese though since a lot of American companies outsource their manufacturing to China. Companies that do this try to cut costs and probably do so on the specs that they want the Chinese to build for them.
The common belief here is that there is less oversight and laws in the manufacturing process so an item that might not pass inspection in another country would pass in China.
Chinese manufacturing is ubiquitous though so trading will continue happening on a massive scale for the foreseeable future. I imagine the manufacturing process will only get better as well. At the same time American companies doing business with china may call for cheap specs on a product thus giving china a bad rep.
This is just how I see it as an American who has no issue with China.
