Chinese products have improved their quality over the years. That is true. They still churn out a lot of junk too. If you buy 100 things from China and 100 things from the us, the Chinese ones will be inferior quality in most cases. It's all numbers. Some things they make will be great, some will be okay, and some will be terrible. Same for the US, but the quality products will be a higher percentage. Sorry you are offended about a comment
someone else made, but you can't argue with numbers.

I remember cars from Detroit in the 1970s... total junk. Even Mercedes Benz had quality problems in the 1990s.

Also true. Junk products are made in all countries.
