        I’m sure you don’t own anything made in China then. Canada, famous producer of consumer goods farquaad-point

        Whatever little is actually made in Western countries anymore is shit quality designed to fall apart to make more profit just like everything else.

          Well I do have one, but only this one item from Germany which I would say is pretty good. A Lamy Safari.

          But that is seriously my only thing at home from Germany which I would consider high quality, hell all my Thinkpads are from China after all. Lmao

          So they excel at trinkets maybe? Lol

        Are you really trying to deny reality here? I understand you hate China and am even willing to belive it’s ideological and not entirely racist but pretending they’re not a global manufacturing powerhouse is next level nuts.
