They still wouldn’t be able to sell anything that doesn’t meet the standards in place, so I really don’t get your comment.

The government can’t inspect 100% of every vehicle. Chinesium crap is notorious for swapping out parts. If the company is based in the US or has significant ownership/operations in the USA then you can take actions against the company…

A Chinese company has no care in the world about US operations. They’ll just change name and peddle it under a new name. (see dropshipping problems we have now on all the major e-tail platforms).

Curious, are planes manufactured by Boeing being considered in your comparison of Chinese made vs US made products?

Well that’s a good question… I would normally say no… But a little googling brings up results like

and

According to the Global Times, over 10,000 Boeing aircraft have parts made in China.

And then you look at the problems Boeing have recently faced… And you have to wonder… newer manufacturing facilities in China… and now we’re seeing an uptick in problems at Boeing. Definitely a hell of a coincidence, but ultimately hard to tie them together as a causal relationship.
