Boeing does not build the F35.

I think op understands that. The meme is calling out people who assume the new J36 must be shit quality simply because it's Chinese made, when America's own f35 is itself extremely unreliable.

OP's mention of boeing is simply pointing out another area of American manufacturing that is currently embroiled in it's own quality issues. Maybe the "China builds low quality" claim is out of date and needs to be retired.

Hope that clears things up Langley.

That's why I put "And that's >WITHOUT< mentioning Boeing..."

Yeah, got annoyed that a significant amount of Americans who talk about the J36 and bring up "Hur dur, what about tofu dreg construction?" or "Temu quality"

Temu quality

Everything i ordered from Temu so far has been completely acceptable in terms of quality. I didn't ordered jet fighters though, maybe US Air Force should try, who knows, maybe they would be pleasantly surprised compared to F-35.
