It’s true what you said, being newer than most other developed nations.
However at the back of my mind, whenever it says “made in china”, i don’t expect much quality or built to last.
I get that. There was a time when "made in Japan" meant low quality also. Times are a changin'.
Japan buying up all of USA debt and land was a scary Boogeyman.
I think I remember Saudi Arabia doing it too.
Then China.
I wonder if the American empire will last long enough for another country to do it.
the whole made in ... thing was originally implemented to mark the inferior products / cheap copys of british products that where made in germany
