No. Chinese manufacturers are building whatever you pay them for. It's literally a human-powered API converting designs to hardware. It's the western companies that don't want to build nice things.

Manufacturer: (n) Like an API, but it has even less idea what you're talking about and costs a whole lot more to use

OEM means "Original Equipment Manufacturer".
Yeah, he mentioned that in his post, in the part you quoted.
You're missing my point.
"OEM manufacturer" would mean "original equipment manufacturer manufacturer".
You're missing the point as well.
ATM Machine would mean Automatic Teller Machine Machine.
Gee, I really screwed up there with reading and comprehending. I don't know what I was thinking. You're right, of course.

Not "as well" because only Fnoord was missing the point.
There is, it's called "Chinese OEM manufacturers".
