I’m aware of the issues with imported products vs locally produced products and Chinas politics in general.

However, let’s assume there would be a good reason to buy a Chinese product. How can you distinguish between all those almost identical looking unspeakable brands on Amazon from “proper” Chinese brands with a good reputation and track record in China?

What are the Chinese “equivalents” to European and US brands e.g. in household appliances, tools, IT, food etc?

    “Real” brands will usually have a proper website where you can learn about their products, whereas those Amazon pseudo-brands generally don’t, or only have a generic template. For example, something like 8bitdo or Fiio are what I’d consider proper Chinese brands.

      Thank you. I actually own a 8bitdo controller and had no idea they are Chinese. Never heard of fiio, thank you for the link.
