Are there Chinese made Fenders?
In terms of Squier they’re generally the cheapest but they are broadly “fine for the money”, they can just vary a bit in my experience.
Not sure if it’s comparable to the MIJ/CIJ factory differences.
My Squier JM is I think Indonesian and actually had more obvious QC / finishing flaws but feels, plays and sounds much better than an entry level Sonic/Affinity.

And etc and so on
(Made in Indonesia too which is usually preferable to the Chinese-made Squiers)
