Another 122.88TB SSD just launched and this one comes from an obscure Chinese startup you've probably never encountered

And you are stupid for not acknowledging that people from other countries are not just useless consumers without any agency. Americans and Europeans have industry too, and very productive ones. The narrative that you can trace any product back to China is entirely wrong and reeks of tankie.
The west has spent a half century outsourcing their industry to feel like they've done any environmental work (and to lower wages). That has affected all industries, in all western countries.
Ever use anything with a pcb? Congrats it was partially made in china. Any industrial electrical components? Any microelectronics for non computational work? Hell most steel fab is in china. Half the us's packaged fruit travels through china for packaging.
Your owners and masters have spent a long time ruining domestic companies for the sake of profit. Don't take that out on chinese people, take it out on your owners and masters.

At this point, yeah, a bit. But it is a common racism to have right now, and the first step on the path to getting rid of it is knowing you have it.
China has caught putting harware level vulnerabilities for decades now.
So there's probably backdoors in any Chinese hardware by now. But also in any western hardware.
It's just about who you want to send your data to.

You are about 20 years too late for any of this to make sense. China tech is on par with other countries now. It is still lower cost for bad reasons alot of the time, but good quality tech is readily available now. You don't have to go very far up from the absolute cheapest unit price to get to the quality either, but of course, it's the American way to always seek out the absolute cheapest product, quality be damned.
A "made in America" sticker also does not carry the meaning it used to 20 years ago either. You can get some of the shittiest cheap stuff "made in America", it just won't be the cheapest shitty stuff, despite being made locally to you, since the company still needs to make sure they are infinitely increasing profits forever...
The propaganda campaign for chinese goods not being scams just started this week dude, give it time and I'm sure the west will fall

Actually it is mostly the US that has been caught doing that. Not saying others don't do it but the US is the one who is bad enough at it to get caught regularly.

'Chineese startup nobody has heard of.'
...am... I racist for immediately thinking scam? Like.. they shoved a couple thumb drives in a fancy case level of scam?
No because Chinese isn't a race its a nationality. If you used one of the races there like Han The predominate race there. than yes it would be racist. The Han are in face often refereed to has the real Chinese. But china is made up of many races not just the one.
-
So what? China has slaves galore! A veritable slave emporium! A slave for every man woman and child. That is, if women had rights in China.
Are you proud of being so incredibly ignorant of the world around you that all you can do is regurgitate dumb propaganda?

Okay bud Chinese 99.999999999% of the time refers to Han. If you ask a Chinese person they will say 中国人, Chinese. Yes Han is the proper nomenclature but no Chinese person would make this argument.

I would say it’s bad because the only reason low quality products exist from China is because there is a company ordering them, typically American. All of our expensive tech comes from there any you haven’t heard of most of those companies

Very good but can someone please invent a 4TB drive that costs less than it did five years ago?

I guess that would depend on whether you think of the country of a race when you think china. I think of the country and not the race. bud.

I sincerely doubt that. And last I checked, most chip fabs were not in China. There's a lot in South Korea, Taiwan, and Japan. And there's plenty in damn near every western country. Even the Netherlands has a few.
You need to realize that countries other than China have industry.
I do realize that. You’re still being prejudiced for no good reason.

Yeah but how is that not China's fault too? Americans buy cheap products from there because China pays their employees pennies.

No good reason except basic pattern recognition.

Sure, six vendors all decided to release scam SSDs of similar sizes.
I mean... It wouldn't even be the first time, so

That’s just called racism. You are a racist.

Taiwan is independent, and they have a lot of chip fabs. I think you have an inflated view of Chinese industry, must be all the lead in their paint.

Last I checked you didn’t have to grace us with whatever nonsense pops up on your keyboard after you slam your bigoted face into it. Yet here we are.
I’m not going to waste my time further, feel free to have the last word. I’m sure it’s very important to your small, racist mind.

You know, name calling doesn't work on me.

From what I understand their minimum wages aren't bad, it's the enforcement that sucks. Everyone buys from them because labor laws are overlooked, but if they weren't - there's a risk manufacturing would move away and shrink. Bit of an ouroboros. I'd say both parties are to blame, but the paying one gets more of it.
