There’s a reason Chinese military equipment is not in hot demand around the world despite low cost. Tofu-dreg.
Totally, true. Today. But like many thing in China, it starts out shit, they learn, steal, iterate, and eventually they catch up, or catch up enough to be competitive.

We are running Chinese made buses in our city, and 99% chance you wrote your last message on a device made largely or entirely in China.
