      I wouldn’t go all out saying all Chinese made things are garbage. The majority of cellphones are produced there and many of them are not garbage.

        Agreed, China can produce garbage and it can produce amazing things.

        The thing is that companies that outsource to China often want much cheaper manufacturing, which obviously results in lower quality.

        They can produce stuff at the same quality and probably at a higher quantity as anyone else (except maybe for extremely specialised stuff which only 1 company in the world can do)
