    If she’s shopping on Temu with white labeled products, she’s going to get what she paid for. Sounds like you’ve also concluded she’s the problem. She’s the demand side of the equation. If there’s demand for cheaply made crap, there will be more cheaply made crap.

    There are also ways to gauge the quality of products before buying online. You make it sound like it’s impossible. Like reviews and research and buying from reputable brands that have good track records. Most of which are likely manufactured in China, but with actual quality assurance.

    While I still say buying local is king, you’re like way too irrationally angry at this. Likely because she’s offloading cheap crap onto you and making it your problem.

      Yeah, you’re probably right. Though, I will still avoid Chinese goods whenever possible, not because of the quality, but because of China.
