I try to avoid Chinese products

What are you using to talk to us right now? What kind of smartphone/tablet/desktop/laptop do you use? What makes you think cheap Chinese stuff is of inferior quality than cheap American stuff? Cheap is cheap.

I don’t think you’re trying to do shit. I think you’re just being a bigot and going off 90s style. I get it, the 90s are kind of cool again to folks, but being casually bigoted is still not ok. It wasn’t ok then and it’s not ok now.

Basically anything that uses an electric current in your house has China’s hand in it at this point. You need to grow up. Again, cheap is cheap.

I sincerely doubt that. And last I checked, most chip fabs were not in China. There's a lot in South Korea, Taiwan, and Japan. And there's plenty in damn near every western country. Even the Netherlands has a few.

You need to realize that countries other than China have industry.
