Chinese factories make high-quality, affordable products—and that is exactly why certain capitalists are furious. They can’t keep ripping off ordinary people like they used to. Things that cost $1 to make and were sold for $10 are now sold by China for $2. Their easy-money era is over, and they hate it. So what do they do? They team up with politicians and friendly media outlets to attack China and spread whatever nonsense helps protect their profits.
If you genuinely believe the media’s claim that “cheap Chinese goods are all trash,” then you clearly don’t understand basic economics—raw materials, processing, logistics, labour costs. Think about it: a country capable of building its own space station, advanced aircraft carriers, and cutting-edge fighter jets is somehow only capable of producing “garbage”? Come on. That narrative is beyond ridiculous.
And let’s be honest: are the leaders in your country really looking out for people like you? Look at the United States. A handful of wealthy families own everything. They own the money, the corporations, and the media. If you’re just an ordinary person believing whatever they tell you, then you’re playing right into their hands.
The US-China tariff war is a perfect example. Prices in the US skyrocketed because of tariffs. Tell me—did your wages rise? Did your groceries get cheaper? Did your child’s education become better? Is healthcare suddenly affordable? Do you have more job opportunities now? Do you feel safer walking outside at night?
I don’t need to answer any of this for you. Just ask people who have actually lived in China. They’ll tell you the truth—something the media and politicians never will.
