I find them to be mostly very well made, long-lasting and would rank Japan on the same level as many European countries across most metrics

    A lot of products sold anywhere are made in China. That doesn’t necessarily mean much.

    It’s more important where the product has been designed (I think this is what the OP meant), and Japanese designed products are generally very good.

      I’m just saying. My partner has lived in japan and when i visited her there, it was basically impossible to go day to day without buying anything made in China. Literally I’d say 75% of all non-food products on shelves are made in China there, way more than I’m used to in Europe.
