A sarcastic phrase used to describe where nearly all consumer products in the U.S.A. anymore are made. Where corporate assholes are taking the good jobs to because they practice the gulag labor system there and don't follow the standards for safe work conditions, environmental protection, human rights or decent wages for the workers.
Jack and Diane look at a CD boombox in an electronics store. Jack looks at a box sitting on a shelf. Diane asks, "Where is it from, dear? Our last boombox was made in Japan and it lasted about 20 years". Jack reads off the words at the lower left corner, "Honey, it says "made in Chine-fucking-uh." Diane says, "That means it was made in a gulag where quantity is emphasized over quality, so it's probably a piece of shit". Jack says, "Since those politicians have been kissing the Chinese government's asses almost everything here comes from China. We might as well get this hunk of junk anyway".
