Comment on Be aware that buying electrical items from Ali Express might not be too clever.

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.
