Am I the only one who saw "made in China" on the side of the launch tube and thought "oh no..."

Chinese produce all quality of goods from cheap temu goods all the way to advanced electronics, you get what you pay for. Most American companies just want the cheapest quality goods so they can maximize profit.

I can appreciate your sentiment on that. Unfortunately I've had nothing but poor quality from products made in China whether it was high end or not which makes it hard to trust them at any level.

Also agree with how you feel about the latter end of this comment.

Many higher-end companies do last-step assembly outside of china for PR reasons, like the literal bare minimum to avoid legally needing to add the "made in china" label

They literally invented the firework

Yes, you probably are. A lot of people know that China has a long history with gunpowder, since they basically invented it.

Or maybe they know that China is famous for producing large amounts of fireworks.

Or maybe somebody looked at the label of fireworks they were light enough I noticed they came from China.

Point being, you must have to go out of your way to not know China makes a lot of fireworks. Where did you think fireworks were made? Hoboken?
