You just need to know that you bought a cheap,
off-brand charger that was made in a country that is infamous for
producing shoddy and dangerous electrical devices

Try to find almost any USB charger that isn't made in China.
Even Apple chargers are, I think, made in China.
And that's as name brand as you get.

the issue not where it's made, but that it was an *off-brand* charger.

name brand chargers, and not just apple, are made to certain quality
standards.

noname chargers don't care about quality. they care about how cheap
they can make it, so they end up cutting corners, which means they're
generally crap.

plus, the likely cause was the cable, not the charger.
