Oh it's absolutely racism. I'm not even piggybacking on all the tiktok Chinese product content that has been surfacing lately either. I'm piggybacking on the American small business people that have spoken about how they have tried sourcing from American companies and it's been very difficult. The quality is poor compared to China and they are totally inflexible and argumentative about what can be done. There was certainly a time when some of these Chinese product/worker stereotypes had validity but I think they have advanced at such a pace that the west is probably uncomfortable acknowledging it.

Two points: 

1. The bolded is probably true, but US and other western companies are disadvantaged by the fact that Chinese companies can exploit their workers in a way that western companies can only dream of. Shit, western companies copped more grief for Foxconn suicide nets than Foxconn did.
   
2. The Chinese are very good at copying stuff. Their counterfeit economy is proof of that. The problem for the Chinese is that they have provided absolutely zero innovation in the entire time they've been developing. They have a massive brain drain problem. The United States is still the home of innovation in the entire world. Trump is currently trying to fuck that up, but it will be true for at least the next few decades.
