Lenovo ChiComs make a v good product.... I have a 17” laptop that runs flawless.

And the iPhone and iPad ChiComs do a good jobl, too. On that subject I think that the Chinese experiment with "a little bit of freedom" won't work well for them in the long run. People used to poverty and tyranny yearn for freedom and some wealth. Funny how here in the U.S. people born into wealth and freedom yearn for tyranny and redistribution.

Milton Friedman believed that economic freedom would eventually lead to political freedom, which I believe was one of his justifications for free trade.

Just about all Windoze laptops are designed and engineered in Taiwan and built in China. They are then sold under say-— the Dell, Asus, HP etc label

When I buy a Lenovo I am buying direct from ChiComs thus cutting out the middleman. Of course I wish world economics were such that the items were designed engineered manufactured in America

Apple does some of its design and engineering and some is done by Taiwanese partners. Then built-assembled in ChiCom land
