Oh my god. I specifically bought SONY to avoid Chinese TVs in 2022, when I was still on the China-bad train. SONY was pretty much the only brand except for the Koreans not owned by a PRC firm. I guess it'll be TCL the next time I have to buy one.

    Panasonic's TV division is owned by China?

    I actually wondered about Panasonic when I saw the parent comment and checked. Didn't comment then, but probably should have, if others had the same thought.

    Panasonic used to manufacture televisions in its own factories, initially in Japan, and then in other regions such as China, India, and the Czech Republic. However, between 2015 and 2022, it closed its Panasonic-owned factories and now outsources all TV manufacturing to other companies. Its mid- to high-end ranges are currently made by Chinese electronics manufacturer TCL. TCL's primary manufacturing plants are in China, Vietnam, and Mexico. Most Panasonic TVs sold to U.S. customers are made in manufacturing plants in Tijuana or Ixtapaluca in Mexico. TCL also has manufacturing and assembly plants in Australia, Brazil, India, and Pakistan.
