This topic is way too complex to get into here, but it's very obvious you have zero experience in this area of manufacturing or supply chain management. It also is necessary to prevent planned parts overruns from taking place that the subcontractor will sell themselves. It is also true that when companies build overseas, they need to maintain pressure for quality control or the quality absolutely WILL drop and corrections will not be made. It is also true that certain countries are associated with garbage, and you need to go no further than Amazon to find it and that tells you all you need to know. It is also true that as they accumulate knowledge, connections with industry partners, build their own supply and manufacturing infrastructures, this will change, as it has for various countries. It's a fact that certain countries don't have the infracture of expertise and execution yet to create parts that compete on a world scale. You discredit any fight or actual work people put towards equality. It's not racism or bigotry and if it was, I'd actually be one of the first people to call it out and I'll leave it to your imagination to think of why. As with most things in life, you get what you pay for.Just stop it. Mercedes and BMW assemble the most popular models in the USA.Īll we can do is select a reputable brand with demonstrated commitment to product quality and buy it from an honest supplier with a good return policy. Most VW products sold in the USA are assembled in Mexico. Audi probably makes more cars in China, using locally manufactured parts, than Germany. My VW Golf had parts from Brazil, Hungary, Spain, etc. With the global supply chain, most products are assembled from parts made by various sub-contractors, so almost nothing is 100% made in a particular country.

That's like saying everyone from a particular town/state/country is the same. Country of origin is not a good indicator of quality.
