For the things I buy, I would put Japan at #1 although I'm seeing fewer things they build.

That’s kind of ironic because Japan got to where it is off of cheap consumer electronics in the 60s and 70s

South Korea, Taiwan, and Japan for electronics. No sane people would buy electronics made in e.g. Denmark or Switzerland.

What the chart fails to capture is that while I would trust pasta made in Italy, I wouldn't necessarily go for an Italian computer chip. Each country has its specialties which makes real life (and tracking real consumer preferences) more difficult than this simple chart would suggest.

Surprise about Canada. I haven't seen anything made there apart from maple syrup.

I wouldn't have much respect for food besides sausages with the "Hergestellt in Deutschland" label.

So maybe this is all relative.
