Have had two Xiaomi phones in a row, I don't see the second rate.

My in law has a BYD Seagull, fail to see how it lags compared to similarly priced cars.

Chinese cars are incredibly popular in Europe, because they are better cars at the same price tag, even the more expensive ones.

I think it's asinine to think their high end manufacturing is crap, keeps us non competitive, let alone ignoring most of our stuff or large parts of it already comes from China.

And it has nothing to do with wages, modern high end manufacturing is highly automated and skilled engineers are as expensive as in southern or central Europe.
