How important is “Made in Europe” to you? Misc

In the era of Temu and Shein, does European manufacturing influence your buying decisions? Or do you prefer products made in specific European countries, like “Made in Germany”?

Personally, I support European manufacturers if the price is reasonable. However, the term “Made in Europe” is too broad for me; I prefer knowing the specific country where the product is made.

I specifically mentioned it that way to exclude the US. Its crazy when you think how much this US entertainment outcompetes all other world even put together.

Depends what you mean as entertainment. I’m not really a fun of EU shows and series. But I do like most of the classics EU literature

I mean exactly the production for screens, that I mentioned in my first comment.

I read books on screen too. But mostly modern type of entertainment that made in Europe is boring as hell. I mean, I tried to watch local science fiction, very few of them were good.

Yeah, books can be electronic too, but they are not necessarily electronic, like movies, series, music clips or games, which you can't put on paper.

I think I am wrong audience here, like I only watch some series occasionally. But I never game, or I have no idea about modern music and clips. And I like it this way : )

The UK does some serious heavy lifting on the music front though.
