while absolutely true, the same can be said about my chinese nonsensename companys dehumidifier that I bought for 1/4 of the cost of an american brand name one
That would only be a valid comparison if the american brand dehumidifier, as a complete product, was a part of the chinese one’s bill of materials. This is closer to the cartoon meme image where McGuyver builds a megaphone out of a squirrel, twigs, and a megaphone.
It’s pretty much how the global economy has worked for a few decades, right? Advanced countries design, research and run things, developing countries build them.
I’m not really sure what it has to do with OP, though.
