I personally know two friends that had their needs made in China. Pretty much most people from many countries have been getting things made in China. Years ago a local machine shop owner used to get a nice repeat job from a repeat customer.
Suddenly every time he quotes the job and does not get it. So for an experiment, he quoted JUST the material cost, and STILL didn’t get the job. He found out his customer was having them made in China.
I believe Japan was the main global vendor until around 1989, then they rotated to China after that, even Japanese Sony TVs are made in China.
