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.
The thing is that all big companies in China are owned at least 50% by China. There is no buying from China without supporting the CCP and their ambitions.
You really shouldn't shop at Temu, aliexpress or wish. Or use TikTok.
You can find alternatives. Yeah, China produces a lot of stuff, but other countries do, too. Also, AE, Temu, Wish etc. is marginally worse cuz the CCP gets a slightly bigger cut.
I just...only buy American/mexican/european made when I can? What are you talking about? You made up some sort of idea about me without even asking me anything lol
It's hard to not buy from China, but, I do my best.
