I replied specifically to your comment about them not doing any R&D - this is not true. The company I work for was once owned by a huge European engineering company before we bought it back in 2008. I was R&D manager for our small group and went to meetings monthly with counterparts from the other groups throughout Europe, and saw what was on their schedule. I noticed that the largest group, who thought they were so advanced, was really only doing minor modifications. Whenever something difficult came up requiring actual technical ability, it would be farmed out to one of the main technical universities in China. They were just a hollow shell.
As for the rest of your rant, that company had an entire section reporting to the very top that was charged with outsourcing. As R&D manager I blocked a lot of attempts to force substitute Chinese parts into our products, and the manufacturing guys blocked many tries to move manufacturing there too. Actual data showed that our manufacturing was cheaper and better, and the locally sourced parts were higher quality. That higher quality was partially due to the long term relationships with local suppliers we go out of our way to maintain, but also because the Chinese were being specifically asked to make it cheaper.
But had we not bought the company back we would have eventually been forced to outsource.
All consumer electronics is total junk. That is all that is required, as the thing will be thrown out when fashion changes, and it's all that can be afforded at the razor thin margins of such items. Also, lead free solder doesn't actually work, but it's needed since all that stuff just gets thrown out. Electronics design and manufacturing is what I've been doing for 26 years.
Last, your "The Chinese are Snakes in Human Form" comment is beneath contempt, as they are human beings like you or I.
