US Intelligence Shows Flawed China Missiles Led Xi to Purge Army

I know a lot of people from China and they're certainly of the opinion that the quality of goods there can be really good or absolutely dreck. However, I've gotten gifts of items that were made in China and while they outwardly looked pretty good, a lot of the the little stuff inside looked to be of questionable quality or poor design. But it looked nice on the outside. I've received items from China that were made by true craftsmen, as well as things that were sold to a price point and were hot garbage.

I don't necessarily have a problem with quality stuff, but often the quality stuff manufactured in China is in factories controlled by foreign companies. Although some might not consider this to be the case, Taiwanese companies such as Foxconn, Pegatron, and Quanta are effectively foreign companies with respect to mainland China. And there are some Chinese companies that take pride in their work and their brand, such as BYD, Haier, and Anker.
