  1. China has NEVER been known for quality. It's always hit or miss.

  2. Not the smartest move to crack down on your citizens when things are so dire. Let's see how this works for them.

  3. Damn shame they were thwarted. 😞

  4. Too late. If you think Xi's going to let you leave with all your wealth, I think you're in for a nasty surprise.

  5. Even millions of lives won't stop it. ...sadly.

  7. That's not an enthusiast. That's a junkie.

  8. China did what a lot of people new to money do. They spend more than they have coming in and as if the amount that is coming in will always come in. Eventually if there's a hiccup in the revenue flow, things take a turn for the worse.

  9. Tip of the iceberg. The dominoes have only just started falling.

  10. This explains Democrat praise of China’s COVID response. They see dollar signs.

  11. Karma can be beautiful sometimes.

  12. Ah, isn't socialism/communism grand?

  13.  @indiasuperclean6969 , dude, I JUST got scammed by an Indian company. Well, they tried but eBay stands by their customers.

  14. Man, that one step on that escalator’s definitely going to be covid free. 🤣

  15. Just wait until he runs out of other peoples money.

  16. It helps if you're young and attractive.

  17.  @Morpheus-pt3wq , when the cost is higher, it's normally full of imported parts, which is why the quality goes up.

  18.  @tnbspotter5360 , does it matter? When faced with such a problem you deal with one at a time until you get the job done rather than throwing your hands up in the air and declaring defeat.

  19. Sadly, the vices are normally the last to go.

  20.  @DdDd-ss3ms , thanks for the laugh. 🤣

  21.  @Shinobubu , indeed. Increasing variable costs is one of the quickest ways to poverty.

  22. If you're unlucky enough to marry the wrong person, it certainly is.

  23.  @EnzuWiz , my LEP flashlights, my YAG laser, some glass items, some pots, to name a few. It's about a 50/50 experience for me.

  24. Rumor has it that they're still there but that the location is now Feng Shui.

  25. LOL @ Long Di being in hydraulics. 🤣

  26.  @harrymills2770 , not surprising at all.

  27.  @EnzuWiz , good enough for government work. That being stated, there's just some things you can't get elsewhere, so sometimes I don't even have an option.

  28.  @cymeister5261 , that's some serious butthurt you've got there. Love my iPhones. Sorry you can't afford one. Never had a problem with any of them from 3 on up.

  29.  @DrCruel , very little of it is actually slave labor. You may not like what they get paid, but it's better than nothing and goes further where they live than where we live.

  30. The CCP lies??? Say it ain't so!!! 🤣

  31. Let's be real. The days of driving to earn an income are quickly coming to an end with the dawn of self driving vehicles any way. 😞

  33. Hmmm... Little Pinks. I wonder if they know that's what I call my... ...toes.

  34. When you buy anything from China, just remember that you're supporting CCP atrocities.

  35. Likely but it won't end well for them.

  36.  @DdDd-ss3ms , it's your ignorance that humors me.

  37. I wouldn't bet money on that.

  38. Isn’t democratic socialism grand? Quid Pro Pedo Joe and Da Hoe 2024!

  39. Remember this when it works itself your way.

  40.  @theinfinitymachine9610 , it was what happened before Brexit. Sadly, your country no longer knows what conservative means. You're doomed.

  41. It's definitely a cheaper option.

  42. Likely not without a war as a diversion from the ire for the regime.

  43. Xi should stop focusing on conquering the world and turn his attention to the many, MANY problems within China.

  44. Cool last century scenario you present here. We are so much more advanced that what you know.

  45. Starbucks sucks anyway. A cockroach would be an improvement.

  47. Wish I had seen this when it came out. Looks like China Observer was spot on.

  48.  @gold3084 , eventually but they'll have to prove quality and customer service first while keeping prices lower than other countries that have better reputations. A reputation once sullied is an arduous task to repair.

  49. We can stop buying anything made in China. It hurts the people first but unfortunately that's about all that we can do to also hurt the CCP.

  50. We should just change socialism to government because none of them allocate resources efficiently in the long run. That's why every nation state and empire eventually fails.
