Apparently when everything's made in China, it gives China a bit of an advantage...
.... who'd have thought, except everyone who said so when the west started outsourcing all their manufacturing work there.
Fyi, the US is the second biggest manufacturer after China. And per capita the US is a bigger manufacturer.

China still handles nearly a third of all manufacturing in the world, and the US only a sixth.
For sure, China is a manufacturing juggernaut, no question. They also have 4 times the population of the US. But in terms of raw numbers, absolutely China is the biggest manufacturer
Every time I go to buy something "Made in USA" from a hardware store, it's measurements are all like 5/8ths of a freedom eagle.
At least the Chinese stuff uses metric, even if it's generally less robust
