I bought some cheap Chinese 2-way radios. The packaging has a big American flag and a "Designed in U.S.A." claim, which I suspect is bullshit given the company involved. Also, there are two Bible verses referenced. This smacks of pandering to a particular slice of conservative Americans. All I want is cheap radios for skiing with my kids next winter, not a reminder of my country's socio-political bullshit.
You bought it from the US distributor.
They buy the Chinese product and package it in their own package.

This bullshit is not from the well-known Chinese radio maker Baofeng (baofengradio.com) but rather from a US company called "BTech" which has the deceptive URL BaoFengTech.com.

Almost just assumed it was meant to be a Thin Blue Line flag because of the colors.
Christianity loves to pretend it’s still a downtrodden little secret society, with their sneaky Bible verses in tiny print and their fish symbols and such. It’s hilarious fantasy play, because they are a global hegemony and spend a lot of time persecuting others.
Pretty sure coating the whole thing with black ink to make it look 'manly' makes recycling more difficult to.
Did you get a knockoff? www.baofengradio.com is the legit url that I've bought baofeng radios from, and I just checked the boxes; no flags or bible verses.
LMAO, this immediately made me think of a George Carlin bit, "That’s the reality; angry men in combat fatigues talking to God on a two-way radio and muttering incoherent slogans about freedom are eventually going to provide us with a great deal of entertainment, especially after your stupid fcking economy collapses all around you and the terrorists come out of the woodwork and you’ll have anthrax in your water supply, and saran gas in your air conditioner, there’ll be chemical and biological suitcase bombs in every city and I say enjoy it, relax, enjoy the show, take a fcking chance, put a little fun in your life.”
Don't all iPhones have the same sentence on them?
Chinese OEM resellers will print anything on the product and the packaging. It's just another sale for them. Same guy probably sells it with ten different brandings and flags and quotes and slogans for different markets.
Bao Feng has been cashing in on the prepper/meal team 6 crowd for years now. Their packaging just caught up.
"John 3:16"
You could also see it as a form of greenwashing, making you think you're buying local, and thus greener, if you don't look closely.
Cardboard, great, versatile, recyclable.
Americans: dye it all black and produce it in china. Put som child diddler quotes on it and our stupid flag. Now it's perfect
As if conservative Americans have read the bible. They'd be the ones crucifying Jesus for being too "woke" if they knew what it was all about.
I love when this happens so I know who to stop giving business.
If it's any consolation, just think how much joy and laughter it's created in Guangdong or wherever.
They know how pandering to political powers works.
Made in china, you dipshit flag-waving cucks.
Hey, it’s hard to read a whole nine words. Probably fools a lot of them.
Should've used "Make in PRC", conservatives would be too dumb to know what that means 🤣
The elites don’t want you to know this but the flags of the USA are free you can put them on your packaging I have 458 flags.
Something not to order as a European.
Weird, because baofeng is such an American name. Definitely designed in USA.
Ah wait. They mention package designed in USA. Yes that is totally believable. And then a unique color theme for the American version.
why bible verse on a box, its very out of place why not somewhere else.
not American. Explain why black and white strips are politically charged ?
The bible verses are so dumb lol
I can't believe this wasn't a satire project by some artist.
christian woke... choke... coke?
