Just a few things I noticed in my apartment that were made in China:
SHARP LCD TV
SHARP air purifier
Mac Mini
Retina MacBook Pro
2006 MacBook Pro
iPhone 4S
Several ThinkPads
Desk chair
Lots of other things
Some things that were not made in China:
Various SGI workstations (Switzerland)
SGI CRT monitors (Japan)
Rice cooker (Japan)
Panasonic/Sony/Yamaha stereo equipment (Japan)
Various household goods (Japan)
Sun Ultra 24 workstation (United States)
Power Mac G4 (United States)
Wristwatch (East Germany)
Lots of other things
They all seem to be of roughly the same quality (except for the East German watch, but I still love it). I guess "China" isn't so terrible at making things after all, except... wait a minute... China is actually a complex society of over a billion people and countless companies, not a monolithic entity. So much for being able to make blanket judgments about the quality of something (much less something as simple as a hand tool) based on which country it was made in.
