“Chinesium”
I
heard a new word while watching a YouTube tear down review of a power
tool, (the channel is AvE, if you want to check it out, he's
informative and
entertaining). The reviewer was referring to the low quality material used in a
critical part in the tool he was dismantling as
“Chinesium”.
Of
course, I knew right away what he meant from the context of the
comment, but I wanted to know what the rest of the world, (at least
the English speaking world) thinks “Chinesium” means.
So I did what every proper scholar does. I Googled it. The Urban Dictionary catches, what I believe to be, the true essence of everything Chinesium is, and what you can't get from Modern Fence Technologies.

An
element not found on the periodic table. A crappy metal
or
plastic
substance
made in China in the manufacture of ALL Chinese
exports.
Sadly,
much Chinesium is shipped into the U.S. specifically because American
consumers think they can game the system by paying less for a
product, while expecting it to perform and last like something made
well and priced accordingly.
