It's hilarious to me that the liberals that I know that complain about all the garbage being made in China don't realize that their favorite stuff is also made in China.

You see these online reviewers spreading signophobia by being like "hey this item is made in China just letting you know". As if it means anything.

Then they cope so hard when their favorite stuff says "designed in America" or "made in America with global parts" which in reality just means that 99% of it was manufactured offshore and it was only assembled here or they just slapped a label on it. Such bullshit.

Then again most people don't care. I just know a bunch of liberal douchebags.

They love to tout how great and durable Japanese products are (Playstation, Nintendo controllers etc.) ... except those are not manufactured in Japan lol.

Hell, even a sizable portion of coffins used in Japan are made in the PRC lmao.
