Yes, Chinese is just crap. And China is at the center of the crapification of the West.
I find myself falling for it all the time, though. It was especially easy to fall for it during Covid, when things were in such short supply. I bought a tv stand from China. It is a huge piece of furniture. It is all wood, I don’t know what kind, but it is wood, but the odor of the finish was so bad that we had to leave it on the porch for a week. I don’t know what people would do if they didn’t have a porch.
