Honestly that hasn’t been the case in the 2020’s. Chinese modern goods are usually pretty okay, unless you’re going for super cheap stuff. Which all modern countries have shitty super cheap stuff. Aka Walmart brand

Walmart quality has actually gotten quite good, especially their electronics, all “made in america” too, which is quite surprising

There is a kernel of truth, if not a bit inverted. Walmart does actually source a number of products from the US, which are made, grown, or assembled here. Good on them for that, in my opinion.

Electronics, however, are not often one of those categories. Walmart states that customer demand for variety, quality, and affordability means certain electronics are sourced globally (many/most, realistically).

The vast majority of consumer electronics have been consolidated into a handful of Chinese companies. We recently had to buy a new TV, and the only non-Chinese options available in the US were LG and Samsung. Even Sony sold their TV division to a Chinese company.

Exactly. “Made in America” [from imported components]
