    Those labels are almost always included by the company, not the manufacturer. “Designed in California,” is Apple’s decision, not Foxconn’s

    “German technology” is a joke. Leibniz created the modern binary system so anything digital technically counts. Or printed circuit board (A. Hanson, 1903). Or printed books (J. Gutenberg, 1440). Or f*cking homeopathy (S. Hahnemann, 1796).

    That is more: how the marketers make ‘their’ product sound good.

    For your next meme including the phrase you were trying to write:

    I would’ve written “How Chinese manufacturers make”

    I hope this doesn’t come off as rude. I think posting memes in proper English makes them easier to be understood.

      Agreed.

      These days we can simply run text through a spell and grammar check online. Simple to do and benefits all.

    Was the “made in China” label originally enforced on imported products to discourage their purchase? I feel like I remember reading that somewhere…

      It was the case for “made in Germany” which became a sign for high quality later on. I don’t really know about “made in China” though. I myself would rather associate it with lower quality stuff, although that really generalizes chinese products for the worst ones.
