Indeed, IBM's laptop computers is now an entirely Chinese company
since they offer consistent high quality,
but a /lot/ of dangerous electronics is getting into the USA.
Stuff without UL or any safety approval.
Stuff that should not have even been manufactured in the first place
due to hazardous and poor construction.
It's easy to find: just look at your local dollar store.
Even the lightbulbs tend to burn out immediately or shatter
(I have experienced that several times).
The attitude used to be "you cannot sell stuff until proven safe".
Now we've allowing any and all crap into the market
and it's /assumed/ safe until proven hazardous.
That privilege is being abused. Heavily.
