    honestly most goods from china don’t deserve their bad reputation anymore. I don’t mean shit from aliexpress or temu, I mean cars, computers, smartphones etc.

      The product I’m writing this on is also made in China and of very high-quality. I have no problem with Chinese products just with Distinguishing the good from the bad.

      China’s biggest strength is that they are very good at manufacturing products at a low cost.

      They can make cheap products at a low cost but they can also make very good products.

      Aliexpress for getting parts is amazing.

      You get what you pay for. Chinese products can be top notch, but then it costs the same as any top notch product.

        Not necessarily. Chinese companies are making woodworking hand tools of exceptional quality, comparable to European/US/Japanese quality, for a fraction of the price.

        Even then, they’re generally still cheaper than products made in the e.g. the US or Germany. There’s a reason why German companies have so many auto/auto parts factories in lower-wage EU countries, and even for models that are “made in Germany” often a considerable amount of the parts are manufactured outside of Germany.

        Also, don’t confuse chinese brands with products made in china. Most consumer electronics are made in the far east, even if the brand is from the US.

      Firsr of all, you’re right. But the study was done in 2017, it’s been almost ten years, particularly for China this is a leap in manufacturing quality. Also, the list is for Top countries, so I understand this is not the whole range from greatest prestige to lowest prestige.

      Although ironically enough, the bigger it says it’s from China the less likely it will be decent quality.
