i just got the anker one of these, are they like all just rebranded Chinese stuff?

Pretty much. Though I would say Anker has gotten successful enough that their products are (mostly) well-tested and reliable. They are generally higher priced than other knockoffs, but there is a bit more peace of mind (though obviously still not perfect)

That said, I'm pretty sure I've seen an Anker 140W charger just like this for the same price or cheaper. Baseus used to be a decent Anker alternative that, while maybe not as good or has a higher chance of getting a defective product, it was pretty close and also much cheaper than Anker, making it worth it in some cases. However, their recent products seem to have closer price parity to Anker, which to me just isn't worth it. I have had issues with a recent wireless charger that was almost the same price as an Anker version. Won't make that mistake again. They're getting too big for their britches, as they say.

Edit: yeah so here is the deal I saw, but even MSRP is not much higher than Baseus 's version. I would say if Baseus hits more than 60-70% the cost of the Anker product they're copying, just go with Anker.
