Wood fire is not popular for house heating in Spain, though. Firewood is regarded as a poorman's resource. Nearly everybody uses gas for house heating, or fuel-oil. People who wants solid fuels tend to use pellets, which are a bit of a scam if you ask me.
I'd more say, they have both, but yes; I'm quite often surprised that many Chinese premium products are really premium and with fairly acceptable price tag.
Haier's washing machines and fridges as most notable discovery of last years!
Since Haier recently purchased GE's appliance division, they are making Haier products (mostly labeled as GE) in the US now.

Yep, they acquired a lot of US/EU brands recently.

Which is something I think we should be concerned about.

Well... they have the real money, not the printed ones... I think since 2008 more than US, I'd say.. and they keep spending it wisely to expand influence and grab back tech spec so their native brands can be top notch advanced.
I think that's part of the strategy.
Meanwhile they (the Chinese) are also up to things like this:

Yeah I know.. it's sort of a big news in my part of Europe.
being alive long enough to eat the food that's stored in it.
First I want to mention that the last time Trump was in office, tarrifs did not have any negative impact on pricing. China ate the cost and they will this time as well. In additon, O'Biden left the tarrifs in place because they are generating huge sums of money.
I agree about being alive long enough to eat the food, but I also
listened to someone explaining tarrifs the other day and the bottom line is they tend to be good for the country because it protects our
industries from markets being flooded with products that have
artificially lower cost. These products harm our competing industries.
Someone out there that knows more than me can do a better job of explaining
improved over time. I've seen this in what people say about guitars - A lot of the budget guitars sold in the US are made in other countries (Mexico, China, Indonesia, and Korea, among others). It used to be that
a lot of people would say US-made guitars are better in quality, but
these days, I've seen a lot of reviews of such guitars saying their
build quality is excellent.
As long as a guitar can stay in tune with a moderate amount of bending, isn't it as good as the next?

I've had a variety of them (electrics.) The ones that I miss the most
are the cheapest rip-offs, like my old Biscayne Six (a strat copy) and
my old Hondo V.

See if the G string stays in tune on a Les Paul. Even the Les Real I built can't.

Not to me... but then I think that each axe is individual and stands on it's own legs.
But after saying that, I should admit that my current fave is a Chinese made (in the Epiphone Custom shop) Les Paul GoldTop. I only bought it because I went to a music store to buy a bass (which I did), and saw it sitting on a stand. I had been thinking about getting a goldtop Les
Paul, and when I played this one, I fell in love with the action... like playing a stick of butter. I had to have it so I bought both it and the bass. I had not had a guitar that played like that one since my 1966 Gibson Melody Maker. I wish I still had that one.
But I am comparing this Les Paul to all of my high-dollar, American made Fenders, Gibsons, G&Ls and PRSes and while they are great guitars one
and all (and all for sale I might add), none of them measure up to the playability of the LP (which is NOT for sale.)

Hondo's were actually pretty good guitars. If it good enough to get sued for, it's got to be a pretty good guitar. I've got an Electra tele copy that is bulletproof.
What are G&Ls?

It stays in tune perfectly on my Epiphone Les Paul.
What are G&Ls? I've seen PRS guitars. What do you get in exchange for all the money of the world? <jk>
