I still remember when the Chinese engines’ manufacturer joined the other English forum few years ago introducing his early products and phishing sympathy picturing “his sick baby” to improve sales before invading the world with his copycat stolen designs. It’s one of many systematic world operations in all products’ fields to raise funds to be used against all Western & democratic countries. What a coincidence that their virus hit us right after imposing tariffs on their products in order to fix the trade deficit that was 1:2 in their favor. Now they sold Trillions of dollars worth of bad quality PPE; and they are claiming that their under-production vaccine for the COVID-19 works and will sell it for Trillions more. And guess what some of us are still buying their products!! Are we that weak?
Why do we/ I buy from China
Well simple really item from China 5 inch ( fits my lathe) NZ$240.00 free shipping 1 week buy to arrival.
from US ( better quality ? ) 6 inch as cheapest At least NZ$350.. plus NZ$392.00 shipping and it looks suspiciously same brand as my direct from china .
Other second hand probally US made are NZ$1500 plus NZ$1000.00 pr more to ship,
As for electronics we do make much in our country And importing is my only choice
Much the same rates as bove apply .
Regardless of quality and price , shipping from the US Kill many options
Cheers
