There is some good quality stuff that comes out of China, no arguing there. The issue I have is that the quality is so variable that you never know what you're getting, and so many established brands with solid reputations have become nothing more than a name and logo slapped on products of questionable quality produced by an outsourced manufacture. Quality control in general is an issue and brands are virtually meaningless. Some stuff is good and some stuff is complete garbage and it can be very difficult to tell until you have it in your hands. Sometimes you even find something that's very well made, buy another identical one and that one is shoddy.

Also I try to support manufacturing in my own country as well as others that have similar standards on environmental regulations, working conditions and living standards. China is improving, but it has a long way to go. It's possible they will be like Japan, which had a reputation for building cheap junk in the first couple decades after WWII, but rose to produce some of the best quality electronics in the world from the 1970s through the 90s. Sony Trinitron monitors were the gold standard for decades, and the quality of Japanese cars of the era put ours to shame.

Anyway my point is I will pay a premium if I can count on the fact that I'm getting a premium product, but I will not pay a premium for a name slapped on who knows what.
