I would guess that theses are low end, cheaper items?

You get what you pay for.  If you want quality, they can make that as well, but it costs more.

The old saying "You get what you pay for" isn't always true. Sometimes you can pay a lot of money for products that are rubbish. Governments and local authorities are very prone to do this. However you need to pay a fair price if you want quality. Of course, you can find some bargains in the clearance items, often you can save 70 or 80% of the original purchase price.

The quality must be according to the price, because they manufacture in the bulk and people require at lesser price or due to competition from other places, they produce at the least prices gives them no choice other to use the substandard products to manufacture it. Thus, accordingly if it works for long consider yourself lucky or just use it and if stops working just throw it.

Pretty sure you still have a lot of Chinese products in your house even if you don't know it.

I recently bought a "German" condenser microphone and found out that "assembled in china" text

The problem is not the china, problem is that people don't want to work in manufacture.

Cheap products are junk, sometimes we buy something that costs 10x less than normal, and well, lower price less quality.

The range of quality for Chinese products goes from cheap and disposable up to expensive indistinguishable from certain brands in terms of quality. Obviously, the cheaper stuff tends to be known more, since its what people aims for more often than not.

The reason is simple: They do manufacture for the expensive brands as well. So they CAN, and DO sell expensive quality things as well. Well, usually the expensive stuff is still cheaper than the quality brands anyway, but not as cheap as the really cheap stuff.

Ideally people would have a choice, but often do not, unless they buy direct and already know what they are buying.

There are also shameless merchants that buy the cheap things and try to sell it like the good quality brands (and often imitating the brand name too).

The truth is, it depends in what you buy. Just because its made in China doesn't mean that is automatically crap.

For example i have a cheap Huawei cdma "feature" (not smart) phone from 2007, i just wanted something basic back then. Surprisingly, it still works, with the original battery which is mad. Sure its charge doesn't hold long nowdays, but its disturbingly working even after 13 whole years. I remember having a couple of similar Siemens phones die on me like 2~3 years after being in use. I also has some Samsung i bought after that didn't last even 4 years, one day it went off to never turn back on again, just like the Siemens. Of course i know people whose smartphones weren't so great. Also i have some Phillips led lamps that have been going for a decade with nearly daily 8hrs+ continuous use, while the more recent Chinese led bulbs i had already one die on my under a year. Of course the Phillips was like $60 while the Chinese isn't even $3.

I know for a fact that in the 70ies-80ies Japan had a similar reputation, but unlike China they never wanted to make cheap disposable stuff and currently their products are among the best. And yet what they sell in Japan is on a whole different level, than the same thing they sell abroad. It is also possible to see certain Chinese things sold in China being better than the (nearly) same thing exported.

Most of the "expensive" brands literally manufacture things abroad, often China, or Vietnam or similar poor country where they can pay miserable wages. In theory branded products have a better quality control, but that doesn't mean you cannot find a simillar quality product from a Chinese brand.

For my country, most of the industries and tools that exist within it are Chinese industry and there is more than one type for this industry such as tools and cheap Chinese industry which is impractical There is also high-quality Chinese industry at a very high price

It's like 50/50 chance what you buy is decent or junk.

Amazon isn't helping much, as re-sellers will sell you anything and there are a ton of fake reviews. It's a crap shoot.

Are you saying Covid-19 is junk?

Not all products are junk. It depends on manufacturer and the price as well if you buy very cheap products they will be low in quality too.

i gave examples ... add your own links when you post and i will add them to top ...

Most manufacturers are from China because they have cheaper labor and nearer to their distribution. We can't do anything with it but if you have any means to check a quality product from other countries and you can avoid China-made products.

You just do it.

Actually, your Iphone or samsung also made in China as well so this is not about the country its about the brand you are buying.When you are buying it for cheap then don't expect a quality long lasting product for the price you have paid.

I think that will depend on how we use that product. If you buy some product, and the product is damaged, we can not judge that it is not good. I think nowadays, the producing in mass production is used robotic technology, so maybe there is one or two product that does not pass the quality control. Still, the employee forgets to eliminate that product with the other. I think that it is normal to see that one of that product is a break, and unfortunately, we are the end-user that used that product. But we can complain to the store that sells that product, and maybe we can get replaced with the other product.

China is way ahead in terms of production import and export most of the products are manufactured in china and that they are processed everyone was surprised initially because the costs were so cheap i think china gives diversity to answer market needs. If there was no marketplace for cheap low-quality products because people would pay a touch more for quality china would stop producing cheap products and specialise in improved quality.

Mostly products now are made in china because of their cheap labor fees that's why most productions are there made of and i cannot blame them for that.  Some of them are sub standards because it's cheap price and that's what you get of it though. There are branded products are also made in china but doesn't mean that the materials are also made in china, they just assembled there because of mass production of china can provide.

China, which is the world's manufacturing center in production management, is considered important in cutting production costs. Some of the world's big brands such as Microsoft Apple, Samsung, and thousands of other international brands are using the global supply chain strategy in China to improve production and distribution costs in the Asian region. Its innovation and engineering remain American even though it is not made in America (but made in China). The existence of an economic scale makes the price of a product competitive. Apparently, China's dragon tail strategy has rolled players in the international world and created dependency.

I think that as long as the market still accepts low quality Chinese products, then China will continue to produce them. But if the market wants even high quality products, I think China will meet market demand. And of course, all use a profit and loss calculation.

Well, it is what Made in China is. But you know what, even most of us are already aware of their low quality products, many people still choose it with eyes closed. Why? Simply because of cheap price. That's what I usually noticed particularly on my fellow men, they give more priority on the money they can save the moment they avail the product and not the money they can save in the long run. What a wrong mindset. Just like the saying, quality over quantity.

Don't be so bitter, maybe you're just unfortunate when it comes to love. Just wait and chill, I'm sure you'll meet your Forever soon. Do not choose a Chinese to be sure jk .

Ps: No racism intended

There is nothing new about this kind of product.

Right now most of the items it came from china we all know that china right now is one of the richest countries because of copying the product of another country they don't want to import any product on them instead they are all in exporting their products.

Even they don't want this china already conquers the other country because of their debt and we all know if you cannot get those paid the problem now is you will accept china manage your country.

The reason why there are a lot of people want to use the items and export came from China is because the cheaper the price but it has cons, we all know this tag line "the cheaper the price the cheaper the quality " so expect this as always.

Most products today are made in china,mostly clothes,gadgets and even foods almost everything around us are made in china.Those things are scattered in every stores, It's cheap but you can expect its quality to be poor. Often disappointing to buy.
