So Chinese factories are capable of high quality manufacturing. And Chinese brands are capable of high quality design and manufacturing.
That’s what I was trying to get across. As I said earlier you get what you pay for. I can buy great products made in China by Chinese companies and terrible products made in Switzerland by Swiss companies.

You're saying "it's possible" and your parent post is saying "it's unlikely". You're not disagreeing, exactly, but...
this should read "A few Chinese brands make great products"
Most Chinese brands make low quality products; corner cutting is rampant.
> Additionally, almost every high quality brand has manufacturing in China; Apple, Microsoft, Nikon, Canon, Dyson, etc.
That is because the foreign brands set the specs and define the standard of quality, which the factory (i.e., Foxconn) follows to the letter. So Chinese _manufacturers_ can make great products (when required and paid) but Chinese _brands_ generally do not.
This is one reason why Chinese brand products are cheaper than their foreign brand counterparts even when the foreign product was also manufactured in China.
DJI and Anger are two Chinese brands that have worked hard to develop a good reputation internationally, and deliver top products. I wouldn't trust Huawei though.
