True but bear in mind that most of those things are made in China whether you buy them here or on Temu, or Amazon and may even be the same product from the same factory.

Platforms like Temu allow you to buy essentially direct from China and to cut many middlemen.

In hardware you have state-of-the-art PCB and assembly providers in China, who don't "skip" anything compared to European ones. Of course you have bad apples, too.

So there is a balance between paying more for quality and subsidising inefficiency and middlemen.
