I'm over people saying 'cheap Chinese shit'. Apart from it being the gutter-level racism you'd have hoped Australia left behind in the 1950s, it's also factual bullshit. China is the world's factory. If something made in China is cheap shit, it's because somebody not in China who wants to make a quick buck commissioned cheap shit to sell. China makes the most advanced quality engineering products in the world too, if somebody commissions them to do that. Most of your phones and computers, for example. They have most of the world's advanced toolmakers (Australia has as good as zero). Often the 'cheap Chinese shit' comes from a ute-driving moron, driving what in my childhood would have been called 'cheap Jap shit'. Grow up. But it's a kidult culture now, you expect everything to be at high school level.
