This stuff matters less and less with such a complex global trade system. Would be better to say “Assembled in” since parts/components of most things come from many different countries

PLUS the data is more than 5 years old.

Who cares where labels are made? ;)

I wouldn't have much respect for food besides sausages with the "Hergestellt in Deutschland" label.

So maybe this is all relative.

Axis powers dominating the top 10.

For the things I buy, I would put Japan at #1 although I'm seeing fewer things they build.

The ratings are about respect, not quantity

Do you not know what the Axis powers are?

To most people “made in China” is synonymous with cheap and poor quality

That’s kind of ironic because Japan got to where it is off of cheap consumer electronics in the 60s and 70s

Damn made in Japan so low?

South Korea, Taiwan, and Japan for electronics. No sane people would buy electronics made in e.g. Denmark or Switzerland.

Yea they have axis to a lot of raw materials, and axis to a skilled work force.

Surprise about Canada. I haven't seen anything made there apart from maple syrup.

What the chart fails to capture is that while I would trust pasta made in Italy, I wouldn't necessarily go for an Italian computer chip. Each country has its specialties which makes real life (and tracking real consumer preferences) more difficult than this simple chart would suggest.

Give me Japanese-made HIFI any day of the week.

Canada makes almost everything. Quietly.
