Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I don't think Canada needs poorly made and barely working Chinese crap.

Update: Hey, if you want to buy something Chinese, then go ahead, I can't stop you, but even if these products are not badly made, remember that you are supporting the Chinese regime (and probably Russia) by your actions, so don't pretend to be good and caring people later.

Better than American overpriced garbage.

"What you talking about Doc? All the best stuff is made in China."

If I remember correctly, Doc was talking about Japan in the movie, not China :/

They're making fun of you. Do you not see that?

I see everything perfectly, I see how spineless the West is, and how people from the West justify supporting authoritarian regimes to the end, or they simply do not care where their money goes or whom they support with it, the most important thing is to please themselves.... so many words about morality, justice, human rights, ethic, but when it comes to action... But this is not new, my ancestors (and world in general) have already gone through this in the past.

Been to Mexico lately? BDS and other Chinese manufacturers are killing it, they make Teslas look like a Model T.

Really? My aunt buys Chinese things all the time, and yes, the things are cheap, but in a bad sense of the word, they are poorly made.

You live in a bubble of outdated information. China is surpassing US on so many fronts.

People act like iPhones aren't made in China stg.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I don't have an iPhone, but you probably know better, through the screen, from the other side of the world.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You've misunderstood me. People that complain about the poor quality of Chinese products seem to ignore that Chinese factories also produce the highest quality consumer goods, such as the Apple iPhone. Whether you have one or not is irrelevant to my comment.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

But the existence of high-quality iPhones does not change the existence of low-quality goods.

Yeah, whatever.

Yes, lets all support the USA, currently a bastion of freedom for all.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

China and Russia is no better, is it? And it's not like I've written anything about supporting the United States... It is bizarre to justify yourself by saying that the current USA government is bad, given that China and Russia are several times worse.
