  Sorry, it just came across as the whole “China makes low-quality goods” racism that’s been around for decades at this point.

    China does make a LOT of really low quality goods. However...
    ... those goods are made to the quality specified by the importer / wholesaler / buyer...
    ... because 'cheap' goods are often preferred over 'more expensive but higher quality' goods...
    ... by the people who buy them.

    Which is probably what happened in this case!

      That’s just a product of them making a LOT of goods for the world. If you have a flagship smartphone, it was probably made in China.
