Lots of negative comments here, I'm guessing from people who have been propagandized to the point that they can't believe China could do something better than everyone else without cheating. There could be a little bit of racism baked into it as well.

It's time to realize that the country that manufactures almost everything has gotten very good at manufacturing (and design)!

I'm anti-authoritarian, but you've got to give merit where it's due.
