  Americans are going to be so fucked when the only companies producing consumer hardware at scale at labeled “Bad China Companies”.

  I remember people hating Japan and Korea back in the '80s, before Sony and Samsung killed Magnavox and strangled Phillips.

    I don’t think Zhang wrote the headline.
