Wife bought a plate and says made in P.R.C. Looks like it is made in China. Guess with the spotlight on China they are trying to hide where it’s made.

Found the same thing with a stainless steel pan. Brand is Misen.

Received it. Saw the P.R.C. stamp. Confirmed via email it was China. Asked for a return label.

To their credit they didn’t put up a fight.

Not everything made in China is crap. But, don’t try and hide that your products are made there.
 
I bought a can of R134a this week with an American flag on the label and a note saying it was filled in the USA. I took that to mean it was a Chinese can and maybe Chinese gas that happened to travel across the ocean separately.
 
The stamp may have been placed by their gov owned factory thus using official country name. Same with Taiwan, when you see ROC it's the same country, officially they are Republic of China.
Don't you think China building factories in Mexico is better than building bases? Void more than often has tendency to get filled.
 
All that is required is that country of origin is on the product regardless of what country owns the company. A Chinese owned company that builds a product in Mexico simply has to have “hecho en Mexico” on it. America does the same thing, with the Freon “filled in USA” in the above post being a perfect example.
 
Printing an American flag on the box with a big slogan "Proudly Engineered in USA" with tiny lettering "made in China" would be an example of trying to disguise where it was made. I get it, I get it, its a coffee cup. It was engineered here.... A hundred years ago.
 
When I was buying tires around 10 years ago, a Nokian model tire I was looking at had PRC on them. I told the guy I don’t buy tires made in China, he then says PRC stands for Czech Republic.🙄
