I've never heard anyone say that, have you? People say most of what they BUY is from china.
Seriously, have you heard anyone say anything that could possibly be taken as "most of the services I spend money on come from china!"
No, that's because they took what people actually say, that most of the STUFF they buy is from china, and they twist it to something virtually no one ever says in conversation (and hating on china, and how much chinese crap there is comes up in conversation all the time).
It's disingenuous, period, since services are self-evidently NOT from china.
