You would probably be surprised how many high quality products come from China these days. China no longer only manufactures cheap goods. Examples include DJI drones, Huawei networking equipment, Lenovo ThinkPads, Anker electronics, Roborock robot vacuums, and high end smartphones from Xiaomi, Oppo, and Vivo. The same is happening with cars. Brands like BYD, Zeekr, NIO, Xpeng, and Li Auto are producing premium EVs. Several of them have hired engineers and designers from BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volvo, Porsche, and Ferrari. Geely owns Volvo and Lotus, has a major stake in Mercedes-Benz, and works closely with Renault. Many European brands also manufacture a significant share of their own vehicles and components in China. Apple is another example. Most iPhones, iPads, AirPods, Macs, and other Apple products have been manufactured or assembled in China for years. Their quality isn’t determined by the country of manufacture, but by Apple’s design, engineering, quality control, and supplier standards. Today, “Made in China” can mean anything from a cheap no name product to some of the highest quality consumer electronics in the world.
