"(idiomatic) Of poor or low quality." Needs citations that do not primarily fall under the other two senses, viz. "Cheaply manufactured in East Asia" and "Manufactured in the People's Republic of China". Equinox ◑ 18:42, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
 * One cite comes up at which subsequently explains itself in the next sentence in such a way that I think it counts.  and  seem to rather fruitful collocations of this sense. Clearly, the writers don't care about where the plastic crap was actually made when they say that. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 05:07, 27 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Based on those citations, I've combined to two non-literal senses.

RFV for the sense "Cheaply manufactured; of poor or low quality, especially if made in East Asia" that are clearly independent of the sense "manufactured in the People's Republic of China" (e.g. a Vietnamese product is said to be "made in China").--Tibidibi (talk) 22:28, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
