    Probably all the climate change shit

    Also if you told a guy from 1923 that the world’s most industrialized nation was China they’d probably accuse you of lying

            I’m sure you don’t own anything made in China then. Canada, famous producer of consumer goods farquaad-point

            Whatever little is actually made in Western countries anymore is shit quality designed to fall apart to make more profit just like everything else.

            Are you really trying to deny reality here? I understand you hate China and am even willing to belive it’s ideological and not entirely racist but pretending they’re not a global manufacturing powerhouse is next level nuts.
