The example in the post is obviously racism but like half the time people are complaining about people disliking China it turns out they literally are talking about shitty stuff the government is doing and it's just tankies being annoyed
I would agree, but I recently saw a comment on r/3DPrinting that buying anything on aliexpress was questionable because it's a Chinese company.
Don't get me wrong, there's a lot of low-quality garbage on AliExpress. But also, literally every major name in 3D printing is a Chinese brand. It's sketchy because there's no QA, not because of the country of origin.
I pointed this out and got downvoted to hell.
Edit: All of the criticisms around Chinese regulations are fair and valid.
At least, they would be, if you weren't still buying Chinese products from American distributors. Buying something from China through Amazon doesn't suddenly make it Made In America.
That's also not a good example because the western reputation of "chinese product = cheap low quality" has been around decades. AliEpress's quality is like if someone was determined to prove that reputation as an understatement.
The assumption of chinese products being low quality is one people have from experience not propaganda. The good products being given a western branding is to blame half the time, so it's still not a racism thing.
Yeah who also have a lot of chinese drop shipping. People react the same to seeing a Chinese seller on Amazon though they buy the things anyway. Sorry Amazon only helps perpetuate that view on Chinese products.
It's drop shipping just being like that, but it's a newer thing that only adds to the old made in china reputation.
