 Made in China products are extremely cheap if it was made in China I just felt like it was gonna break really fast you look down like that the tag on your clothes This is made in China before Now it's a little good What's going on everybody fun bros here? You guys know that we spent a lot of time analyzing the ebbs and flows in the Asian experience and growing up made in China Products always had a connotation of being mass produced cheap, but also kind of low quality So we're here to ask the question in New York City has that actually changed by 2022. Let's find out I'm here with Sam Sam What are some products that you know that you use like all the time that are made in China pretty much everything I use you Look down like at the tag on your clothes. This is made in China paper Pencil pens and stuff like that. They're all made in China. It seems like everything right growing up What was like the perception of made in China products? They were Acceptable I guess at least to me because I grew up minority class The only time it wasn't acceptable is when like my mom would bring me back Jordan's and they'd be like made in China instead of Indonesia And not just be like mom. Where did you get these like they're probably narrow? I know that my parents definitely were like you don't want to play with the toy That's been made in China made in China products are extremely cheap cheaper less quality They would always break the ink wouldn't last as long cheap mass produced It was just everywhere if it was made in China. I just felt like it was gonna break really fast So what do you what do you think now like how is the perception changed because there's like so much more technology coming out of China? Maybe they still make some of the cheap stuff and all that but but they really have like like they make in the drones and cell phones I've been noticing a lot of tiktoks where especially household items. They might be they might look a little cheap and plasticky But they've actually made your life a little bit more efficient a lot more high tech So it's like affordable tech now. It makes you want to buy it consumer tech cost-efficient price competitive They also have a lot of options right more options for people to choose from it's not just about brand for them It's about the functionality less about aesthetics Maybe but just pure functionality of what it could do useful Effective consumer tech at an affordable price. Yes, I think Chinese products could really be worth the price and the quality And a lot of the time the assumption, you know things that are outsourced to be produced are you know of lesser quality? And that's why people are so adamant on like buying American products, but that's not really the case anymore Times are changing. So technology over there has gotten a lot better The phones out there are now way more advanced from what I hear and like all these other products Everybody used to get cloned on for now. They're like super high tech and now they're like super in so this was made in China and Quality is great and everybody wears them around the world So man David hearing all those stories from people really brought me back to my childhood when the made in China label had Such to be honest a questionable connotation for sure I mean, I remember people questioning if even if you bought like a real item in China They still thought it was fake No, because everybody knew the Nike sneakers were made in China But then if you told someone you bought it in China then all of a sudden it became oh, man I remember watching VCDs obviously then VCDs transition into DVDs And it's crazy to see the arc and because we're talking about fake sneakers, right? But now Anta and like Leaning are coming out with some of the highest rated basketball performance shoes in the world in 2022 so it really kind of goes to show you this arc where China went from like cheap mass produced low quality to now Just like affordable high quality. Yeah, and I will defend that even if the products back then were kind of cheap and mass Produced I always thought they were pretty functional because you had you got a mp3 player back in the day That was actually a Chinese brand. Oh, I'm super cheap. Yeah, it could hold the songs It played fine, but you had to like flip through all of them But ultimately it was cheap and functional and so that's why I was like I think people still bought Chinese products because they were like listen who's making functional things for this price Anywhere yeah, and I'm really glad to see that they're sort of out of that like hyper industrial like functional No-form era and I think it's moving towards a little bit something more like what Japan has Japan has obviously really like form and function is both quite high now A lot of people are probably wondering what are the exact reasons why China's manufacturing got so good and it's two main reasons one a lot of the super cheap manufacturing did move to other countries Like Indonesia Vietnam and India and then also China's tech sector boom So now they're assembling iPhones. They got a Tesla factory in Shanghai and Shenzhen is considered one of the highest tech Cities in the entire world, right? I mean they also have their own brands in the electric car field like Neo There's like BYD. There's Geely Lee auto. There's a bunch of stuff and you know just Manufacturing everything for the rest of the world and for their own domestic market over time They were bound to learn and make incremental improvements and all of a sudden those incremental improvements They become bigger and bigger one of the Things that people don't really think about when it comes to made in China items is actually hairdryers So this actually life and hairdryer Andrew is sort of representative of where like Chinese consumer Manufacturing and industrial design is going. Yeah, and this hairdryer right here according to the reviews and we're gonna test it out Ourselves. Yeah, it's supposed to be rivaling their top competitors the other brands But delivering quality at a third or fourth of the price. Yeah, that's good. That is I mean I'm just saying this is this is Listen guys, I don't want to say too much But if you look up the reviews online People will tell you the quality is there for a third or fourth of the price of a competitor's brand But let me just turn this on real quick. So it has two levels Okay, this is pretty quiet. Yeah, you know what I think it's really cool Though honestly is the LED light on the back where it really indicates the temperature I don't think anybody else has that in the game right now Bro, this is not what let me get dual All right, everybody So after being able to use the live fence with and also have women tested out too I think the pros and cons are pretty clear. I think the pros. It's lightweight. It's powerful It's got a very very cool LED ring on the back dude. I love how it's easy to store You know, you have small bathrooms in New York City You don't have space for big old, you know old hairdryers This doesn't overheat either and also there's this actually there's really cool feature I figured out there's this cycle where you hold down this temperature button And it just goes from hot to cold and it keeps doing this as one of the settings. So there's actually yeah There's actually a third setting too. Yeah, I mean, I think that on the con side Maybe this like air intake magnet thing could be maybe like less spinny. Yeah, I don't like how it moves I don't like how you can't really hang it up anywhere because Other ones you can kind of hang it up from the back I thought that that would have been useful. Also, it is $160. So now that's a premium price But I do think you're getting like a ultra premium product. Yeah I think when you compare it in tier to its competition its competition is more like five or six hundred dollars So at 150 160, it's a really good deal. Also, maybe this temperature change button could be in a little bit of a different place I could see it being easy to activate on accident just while you're using it on a regular base I mean, I know that they're using like a hundred and ten thousand rpms Which is really impressive in terms of like the power to weight ratio Andrew you were saying that it kind of reminds you of the you scooters You scooters is our favorite scooter and it packs a ton of power in a tiny light strong steel frame And I feel like you know occasionally you just get a product that is just so light and so powerful It makes your life easier. I think moving into 2022. That's the name of the game is pound for pound You know, yes, there are like you can go very very expensive on things, of course And you know, I guess the quality would our design would get better But some of those things are just outside of people's regular range of like pricing, you know, like it's just gonna kill your pocketbook So just pound for pound dollar for dollar. I'm looking at this I'm like this could be the best hairdryer in the game guys and I need to tell you something Life and used to make passenger drone technology Passenger to carry people so that that drone technology that they would put in the air There are now putting it in your hair.
