I feel you. Everything is made there. Even companies that claim local ownership (and still use it as a marketing tactic) are owned by Chinese interests.

Nothing is made locally where I live. Engineering parts are the worst offenders. Machine screws, bearings, springs, connectors, electrical components, LiPo batteries, etc. All has to be bought online from China directly or from shitty niche resellers that just import it from China in bulk.

Any piece of technology you can buy probably has parts made in Shenzhen. It is so hard to compete with the Chinese because of the ecosystem they have there. You can hit the streets in Shenzhen and find anything you want in a day in any quantity.

I'd buy more shit from the U.S. if you wankers sorted out your units. Your fit and tolerance standards are munted.

The truly sad part is that anything you can get that's not made from China is often just as shit quality.
