WARNING! DO NOT BUY ALIEXPRESS CAPACITORS!

[tske]

When I see people buy Chinese shits, I pity them.
When I see people buy Chinese shits then complain, I laugh at them.
China is a worthless country, which should not exist at all.

Yeah, that virus is spreading. Like a wildfire in summer. This is just entitled westerners seeing China doing extremely well, and willing to go to war to protect their "rights" from competition.

Too retarded to understand their billionaires sold them just to increase profits.

As the song from Jethro Tull says, "Thick as a brick"

Disgusting.

Guess you are one of those rotting CCP agent.

Show us anything PRC benefit the world please?

No kidding, without China, the world's average life quality will be improved.

I'd rather dealing with demons than with Chinese pests.

Not to mention, UK and US are the main enablers of a genocide happening right now, just in case anyone want to use "things of the past" alibi. Yet that doesn't seem to matter to you. Instead you are fuming for a bunch of bad caps.

That's interesting - I don't know anything about it. Could you give a bit more information so I can read more about it?

Now I would be interested to know which great country you come from.
Unfortunately, your details only say "Country: 00".
00 is the symbol for "restroom" in our part of the world.

It is also in no way a cultural thing saying "Fuck me, that's like they're a nation of psychopaths" is offensive and obviously untrue, there is no cultural difference that makes people more likely to be dishonest.

I disagree strongly - there is exactly that going on in China. Oppressive regimes like China and Russia can easily create an anti-West attitude amongst their citizens by controlling the news outlets and using propaganda. After enough of that, the citizens will start to see countries like the US and UK as evil, as inferior to them, as deserving of punishment, and so on. Very few people are immune to sustained propaganda.

Once Chinese citizens see UK customers in this way, it is much easier to feel OK about lying to them and electrocuting them, because - according to that astonishing racist rant by @tatel earlier - we deserve it.

I think that is why AliExpress vendors are so happy to cheat us and lie to us: because we aren't quite human and because we deserve it.

So yes: the Chinese government is definitely responsible for the anti-West attitude amongst Chinese citizens. And yes, controlling the news outlets and using propaganda definitely changes the Chinese culture.

  For the UK you only have to look back to the 80s when some British products were seen as inferior quality to more innovative Japanese counterparts. And nowadays all you have to do is look at the quality of our new build houses (absolutely terrible lowest cost possible) 

I'm not really sure what this has to do with our discussion. Nobody is talking, or complaining, about poor quality. We are talking about deliberate lying and cheating. That is very different. I don't care about low quality products - they have their place. China is brilliant at producing top quality stuff, and rubbish stuff. I just don't want them to lie about what they are trying to sell me.

How did this thread evolved from a guy having a bad experience with Aliexpress components, to the Chinese being a subhuman species?

But to you I say: throw away the computer/ tablet/ phone you’re typing your rant with, because it was either wholly made in China or it has key components made only there.
While you are at it, throw absolutely all of your electronics devices for the same reason.
Follow it up with the furniture and even your clothes, as I understand that a significant portion of the textile fibers also come from over there.
If you or an acquaintance is taking prescription drugs, might as well dispose of them all and just let the ailments be.

Hey, now steady on! Nobody has even suggested that, so you really shouldn't be accusing people of saying it. It is very offensive.

I'm saying that the Chinese government has created an anti-West culture amongst its citizens, such that some of those citizens feel little or no guilt about cheating us, because according to the government propaganda, we deserve it.

I've reported this post I don't think this kind of vitriol has any place on a civilised Electronics forum. If anything I'd say this topic should be closed this is on the beginners section and do you really want new people  to see this? And nobody is talking about capacitors.
If you want to talk about your political opinions maybe check out http://www.politicalforum.com/index.php (not that I've used it just seems more appropriate.)

Again, I'm not sure of your point. Nobody is disagreeing that the West is almost totally dependent on Chinese made goods and components. Almost all of the technology embedded in these products is American, but China can take credit for turning that tech into extremely cost effective products.

This sub-thread is focused on the problem of fake and dangerous goods coming out of China. That's all. And that is, after all, completely pertinent to the original post about fake/faulty capacitors.

They are also cheating their fellow Chinese citizens. It's very common.

Yes, but of course only the Chinese are cheating. 
We can do that too. E.g.:
https://www.oliveoiltimes.com/business/europe/top-italian-police-official-explains-how-olive-oil-fraud-works/133568

To be honest, a lousy capacitor bothers me less than adulterated food or “low-priced” car parts.

Where do you think IDF gets the bombs/ammo/whatever?

Who vetoes any UN resolution against it?

You don't want to know about it. Please spare us the posturing

Locked, this thread has devolved into racist and derogatory remarks.
