> I don’t understand how I grew up thinking USA is the gold standard is good and China just make cheap copies and is bad
You did not grow up in the 80s ... Where it was the same about US vs Japan. Look how it turned out for several of the US industries. The US tends to sleep, look down on other countries, and then it loses key industries because of that attitude.
It’s not just the US. Honda recently announced they’re not able to make internationally competitive (=== high quality and affordable) cars anymore, and abandoned their entire EV line.
I guess they’ll just milk the ICE assembly lines until they are bailed our or go under, Detroit-style.
