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?


If you see a generic looking product on Amazon or eBay by a brand whose name seems like it was created by a random name generator, it’s probably cheap Chinese junk. To be certain you can search up the product itself, most of the time sites like Aliexpress sell generic unbranded versions (for less money).
I see. Thank you. A website is at least a little more effort than just printing a label on the product.
