China Fakes Everything, part 14


It's well know that China is a land of "fake" stuff, and cheap knockoffs but the ability to fake stuff goes even further than we actually thought.

I often buy products from China and get good deals, amazing quality, brilliant service and excellent communication. My most recent purchase was an electric bike which arrived last Friday. It cost £469 through PayPal and an exactly similar bike at a local shop sells for £1969.
I would love to buy from local business and retail but prices, service and a availability is often very poor.
I'm waiting for the screams!

I rarely find anything that's actually decent or good quality with that super cheap junk. I think this says a lot here, the one being a real Cult Cuties from Nemesis Now, the other a fake that looks (and feels) like it was bought at Dollar Tree.
It's not all bad, some things I enjoy having and some things work very well (like my shoe lace clips), but something like an electric bike that cheap I'm too scared it would break when it's really gonna hurt.

The bike is amazing, and China is way ahead on battery, EV and green energy production.
The West is buying Chinese EVs and batteries all around.

Terrif vid and thread, titled with an obvious lie.

Like the stupid things that westerner shills put un vids against the usa.

There's poor quality / cheap products that Westerners buy,
to fill our banks and your dumps. Stores sell them either
knowingly or negligently.

So whose prob is that?

Meantime actual life here in China is little to nothing like
the fantasies of ignorant westerners. Esp those
with some anti Chinese agenda.

My south Korean daughter in law hates anything Chinese. And Japanese for that matter. She says the smog that often envelopes her country is from China. And maybe it is, who knows? Air pollution in South Korea - Wikipedia
I grew up hating Japanese.

What they did to my family was unspeakable..

But at uni in NYC I met Andrade beasties with a lady
from Tokyo, whose grandfather was stationed in China.

Since then I've spent weeks in Japan.

Too bad for anyone to harbour hatred.

Hey, I used to live in Japan!

I was a military brat. Then as a military wife I got to live in and travel throughout Europe. Loved them both! I just got back from Seoul, by the way. Second time I have been there.

@Audie, what's wrong with this article?
I dont really want to study specifics*, my comment
was just about the stream of invidious propaganda
that does nobody good.

*long demanding day, it's late, I'm tired

Korea is a wonderful place.

I'm way better received being from HK
than from anywhere mainland.
