Topic: Chinese products are junk (Read 599 times)

Most products are made in china now but some aren't terrible. Some work for a long peroid of time and just is better than other choices available.

Some are good, some are bad.

China is the most powerful creator on the world, some of their products are not in good quality but most of them are and we all are using their stuff and all the world does us their workers. I can’t say that they are not good at all for us but these days they have to work hard on stuff as gaming chairs, phones to bring us good quality of it hopefuly.

Not all products are junks, they make categories of each product like one product make for different countries, like for rich countries its quality will be outstanding, for mediocre countries make normal quality, and for poor countries make low quality as for cheap.

I mean, the apple's iphone is manufactured in china, so...
But like i totally get it, the cheap chinese products ARE bad quality

china make everything
the labour is low. but if they have to use good materials. and then send it to a testing facility test multiple materials to find the one that gets good quality then that adds on costs.

so when the op says 'buy cheap' he obviously is getting the crap chinese stuff thats not gone through alot of testing and redeveloping.. so its just not the good chinese stuff

i guarantee you if something is made in UK/US and its cheap. dont expect quality.

some stuff that has been around for a while people can copy and know whats good stuff without going through their own testing/developing procedures. so they can get it cheaper. which is why when you something never seen before its premium and later batches get cheaper.

and some thats new but cheap is bad quality in many cases

Depend on the quality of their product and i believe that depend also in your countries policies,because there are some classifications as i have experienced .

There are 1 kind of items that i compared both from china,the first one is really a crap and the next are Good.
Meaning there are other that you will really hate and some will love.

Not true.
Most of the Chinese products are legit.
Just have a look at the brands that are distributed all over the world. Xiaomi has the best products in low prices. And all brands create their products in China so all of them can be considered as Chinese.

Some of their items are junk. I bought items from Aliexpress like bracelet and they are totally a piece of crap. Some items are not junk too. I bought bike balls which I got some good deal from Alibaba.com. I also got toys and some of them are worth it. But it takes 30 days to arrive. LOL.

Is China Phone an be Modified?sorry but most of china phones are having an issue shortly after purchasing ,there are some apps that is not applicable in their version i don't know if it was intended or isolated cases but like the Unit i bought for my Son now that he needs to use in Online class the apps ZOOM is not functioning good in terms of Audio.i don't know if someone has the same experience also?

in fact by now almost everything is produced in china, even the big fashion brands and cell phones, but in my opinion it is not worth spending a lot for a branded product you can spend little (I'm talking about mobile phones) buy a Chinese phone and modify it in a way which has the same performance as a much more expensive phone is the best choice for me

Is it the Chinese strategy basically? Exporting very cheap low quality products, while using the money to import high quality products from the rest of the world?

The concept of Chinese products is all about high turnover - if something brakes, just buy it new. Just looking on the most stores in my city focusing on the cheapest low end products. And unfortunately the consumers fall for it.

Chinese products are junk


Hasn't anybody ever hear of the Chinese Junk (boat)? Maybe we have know it all along, and just didn't want to believe it.

China products are cheap and has low quality though its affordable to buy. Most of cheap products here (dress, gadgets, toys you name it) came from china but many people still buy because of the price compared to expensive products in malls.

What about Amazon Resellers - selling stuff that failed quality inspections ?

Or knock-offs

Or anything that's cheap and the re-sellers can make a profit - it just has to last 30 days, right...

They copy them because they make them there... When you say don't buy Chinese, most of the time, you ARE buying Chinese. And then they easily siphon out whatever technique, design, trade secret the plant there does and gets spread to the Chinese companies. Ie: you had a workforce working years for Ford, Chevrolet whatever, Trump got angry and made them pack and return. What do you think happens to that workforce? They already know a lot...

Globalization: The genie is out of the bottle. There is no going back to the 50ies anymore. No amount of protectionism can make America make things again, because if they do, they are too expensive, and are not as good as, say, Europeans. Except the rare exception like Tesla, but look at what talents Elon brought to that company and how he lowered costs (robots). See, the American wage is just too high, that's why Americans don't make things anymore; at least not in mass quantities like the Chinese and other Asians can.

When was the last time you checked where your product was made? Apple "Designed in LA" garbage writing to not admit they made it at suicide factory Foxconn?

If you are going to buy an electronic good then it is very rare to find a product which is not made form chinese and as you said every cellphone parts are made in China so no matter how much you are paying there will be a Chinese product present in it.But when it comes to Automobile they are still crap and most of their brands just copy the international car models.Even you can buy Rolls Royce copy for few thousands.

the smallest capital and a large profit is the slogan for all companies that have factories in China...
the majority of the world's population is only concerned with price and not quality, and China offers cheap raw materials and low employee salaries to attract investors to go there, my advice is for important items such as cellphones and vehicles, don't buy Chinese products because they are at very risk of being damaged quickly.

Correct, with Chinese products price alone doesn't cut it. You have to do your research and recognize the good from the bad, or have a very good trusted merchant. For large orders is always wise to ask for samples before committing. Often competition is fierce and some either take shortcuts or do more effort to keep their customers. You might be spoiled to a society and State that keeps you "safe", but step out of the borders of your country and you might find yourself in another planet. Even what you considered "junk" in your own country (perhaps at Walmart) is luxury elsewhere. And still. the Chinese Walmart imports expensive foreign products, or top notch Chinese ones. Its the place to get expensive stuff...

So yeah, its pointless to say Chinese products are this or that, its both and neither. You must not pass judgement because company a made product x bad. Heck, often company a can also make a great product y. But you can try and pick companies the same way you do at home; its only harder since they tend to have funny Chinese names, but those do matter to some of their owners (not all). There is also samples of State owned, mixed owned, or simply heavily involved companies. And there is the worldwide known coop called Haier, state based Chery, etc.

Until Trump leaves office, Americans might have to look elsewhere, but for the rest of us there is plenty of choice, including BAD choice, so pay attention.

Most of the products made in my country are also from China, but some are good products and some other products are very bad. As you know that there are several levels for these industries, the first elites are very good, while the rest of the levels are bad, and these bad levels are those that are exported to our countries.

I've just bought an Alfa AWUS036H Wireless Adapter, and I'll pick it up later today. The product should be manufactured in Taiwan, and I'm hoping that I have the correct version. It seems that there are a lot of fake Chinese copies being sold on the internet. It is sometimes difficult to determine if you are being sold a fake, and price does not seem to be a useful guideline.
