Or even a mix of them, like a garake I have which says "Made in Japan" on the phone itself, and "Made in China" on its battery.
I saw videos about China implementing spy chips in products that are made there, and knowing the dangers of the CCP, I wouldn't be surprised if that's true.
From what I'm understanding, Pine products are made in Shengzen (mainland China) and Hong Kong (kind of mainland China since a half year ago).
That is funny. I recall seeing an expose from the 90s about Japanese VCR manufacturing. It was discussing the use of robots in VCR factories in Japan. They visited a factory there and said this factory was running 18 hours a day with few humans helping out. It was stated within a year or so, they expected the factory to be running 24 hours a day, and only 5 humans working at a time, just giving the robots more parts when needed
I guess humans turned out to be cheaper labor than robots.
