From the average American’s perspective? Probably still China. China always bad. Always.
Americans are also so lacking in moral consistency that they’ll throw their racism and xenophobia to the side just to save $1.
On the other hand, so many things in America have become so expensive many people are priced out of the market. Perhaps they will save the $1.00 because if they don't, it doesn't happen. The average price of a new car in America is more than $47k. That's a lot of money.
Have you ever handled anything made in China? It'll be something invented somewhere else, implemented worse.
