Even worse. At least the old made in China could be repaired. Thanks to new manufacturing methods, everything made today is soldered together.

At least if it's made in modern China it's soldered properly. Nobody in the States remembers how to do that. Hence the pilot pulls a bit too hard and unsticks the Screwless Steering Stick^TM^ and the whole thing goes into nose dive.

That's also the problem with the F-35. So much solder that when it goes into submarine mode it sinks too fast for it to fill up with air.
