Those labels are almost always included by the company, not the manufacturer. "Designed in California," is Apple's decision, not Foxconn's

Apole Airpuds says otherwise.

Someone needs to browse AliExpress more.

“German technology” is a joke. Leibniz created the modern binary system so anything digital technically counts. Or printed circuit board (A. Hanson, 1903). Or printed books (J. Gutenberg, 1440). Or f*cking homeopathy (S. Hahnemann, 1796).

That is more: how the marketers make 'their' product sound good.

Was the "made in China" label originally enforced on imported products to discourage their purchase? I feel like I remember reading that somewhere...

It was the case for "made in Germany" which became a sign for high quality later on. I don't really know about "made in China" though. I myself would rather associate it with lower quality stuff, although that really generalizes chinese products for the worst ones.

To me, made in China === Chinese crap

For your next meme including the phrase you were trying to write:

I would've written "How Chinese manufacturers make"

I hope this doesn't come off as rude. I think posting memes in proper English makes them easier to be understood.

Agreed.

These days we can simply run text through a spell and grammar check online. Simple to do and benefits all.
