Why Chinese people complain about why others use other brands made in China

‌Tesla is also manufactured in China.
Many Samsung and LG products are also made in China.
Some home appliances are simply products from Chinese factories with a different brand label attached.
Looking at these products,
Chinese people say things like:
"Why? Why do they complain about using Chinese brands while using those kinds of products?"
Let me give you an example.
A certain Chinese factory manufactures both Haier products and Samsung products identically.
1. Haier sells it in Korea for 500,000 KRW.
2. Samsung sells it in Korea for 700,000 KRW.
Even so, people buy Samsung products much more.
Why? Because even though they are made in the same factory, Samsung takes the responsibility.
Because the concept of after-sales service (AS) and responsibility is still low among Chinese people, they whine that people only criticize Chinese brands even when they are made in the same place,
but they do not realize how significant that element of responsibility actually is.
Also, there is a lot of talk about Tesla..
The important thing there is not the hardware.
It doesn't matter if Tesla's exterior is made in the US, China, Korea, or South Africa.
Tesla is a company where software is the priority.
Does BYD have software as advanced as Tesla's??
Is BYD a company that provides as much trust regarding personal data security as Tesla does??
Don't you know why Chinese products sell well when they carry names from other countries,
yet still fail to take the #1 spot in smartphones or TVs??
China has unified the LCD market for TVs and exports a massive amount.
Nevertheless, they still cannot surpass Samsung in TV market share, and there is more than a twofold difference in terms of profit.
This has been continuing for several years.
At one time, they boasted as if Chinese TVs would dominate the entire world by riding on domestic demand, but they still haven't overtaken Samsung, and by the second quarter of 2026, that gap has widened.
When China was selling smartphones, they boasted as if they would unify the global smartphone market—at least the Android market—with high performance at low prices,
but conversely, their global market share is continuously falling.
Huawei has dropped out of the rankings,
Xiaomi's market share, which once reached as high as 18%, has dropped to 11%, and the rest, like Vivo and Oppo, have all fallen.
Ultimately, people buy brands even if there is a certain price difference.
Then, people ask:
"Why did Japanese home appliances fail??"
Part of why Japan failed is because Samsung and LG did well, but it is also because they failed themselves.
It was a mistake caused by insisting on PDP over LCD,
and by insisting on selling products made based on domestic standards rather than prioritizing global consumers.
If Japanese appliance companies like Sony or Panasonic
had responded flexibly like Samsung and LG,
they wouldn't have failed to this extent at the very least.
For products sold to individual consumers, price is one thing, but image and the brand itself become crucial.
If they don't realize this, Chinese people will just keep wondering why products with good specs and low prices aren't selling.
The controversial BYD??
It will sell.
But it won't sell as much as Chinese people or Joseonjok (ethnic Koreans from China) think it will.
There are people in Korea who use Xiaomi smartphones.
There are likely several times more of them than people currently driving BYDs.
We do not live in a world where things sell just because they are cheap.
If that were the case, Xiaomi phones, Chinese smartphones with seemingly good specs, or Chinese TVs would have already swallowed up Korea.
