Why would you buy a cheaper phone when you already have an older high-end one? You don't need to upgrade every few years.

The leader of WHO blindly praises everything that China does.
High smog in all of California? Or just in those awful cities? Seems crazy to dictate taxes across the entire of a large state just because the urban areas have smog.
The f35 has a large touch screen that pilots use. Maybe the $1m helmet has a way to interact without touching.

People are downvoting this but it is true. Consumers have the responsibility to pay attention to where their goods come from. If you are buying something directly from China for an extremely cheap price, you shouldn't expect it to be genuine (not fake) or safe for bodily contact.
Why do you think nationalism is bad?
