I would be curious which high quality products the western audience thinks China makes. As far as the popular media (reddit, YouTube) is concerned, most are more aware of gutter oil, fake food, toxic clothes, tofu dreg buildings, olympic athletes that take drugs, roads or bridges that collapses, Chinese EVs that burst into flames, list goes on and on. Not to mention the cheap stuff on Amazon and Alibaba that breaks with only a few usages.
DJI might be one of the few products, but most people don't know DJI.

I think most of the world is aware that all electronics including things like iPhones are made in China, even when they are not. It is just assumed, except for a few Japanese brands people might assume are actually made in Japan because they were historically.

Idk about the US, but I'd be surprised if people didn't know the Chinese phone manufacturers like Huawei or OnePlus

I guess most people wouldn't know about the amount of backdoors that are on Chinese android phones
There are a lot of Chinese EVs on the roads here in NZ. I can assure you they aren't bursting into flames. For cheap and high quality, check out the BYD Seagull.
Hifi amps were the first high quality (and very reasonably priced) Chinese goods I took note of.

“Most are aware of (a bunch of racist myths propagated by Falun Gong and Radio Free Asia) is anyone aware of a single GOOD product?”

America has a seriously dated infrastructure system, practically no public transit, a car centric system that is falling apart at the seems as roads and bridges go into disrepair, and China is building infrastructure that Americans don’t even dream of.
But yeah keep believing China is full of “tofu dreg” buildings or whatever bullshit the Feds want you angry about lmao
China has been going the same way. They are now capable of making very high quality products. Taiwan went down the same route, South Korea too.
In the long term, it's not China that has a problem, it's complacent western manufacturing companies. It's not just a failure to innovate. Some have used their market power to exploit consumers such as the US vehicle manufacturers pushing people to 'trucks' because it served their own interests. They abandoned the small (read sensible) car market. Top selling car recently in Brazil was the BYD Seagull - knocking Ford off.
