This has nothing to do with race, it's a matter of economics and culture, the issues being largely our own doing in the eternal quest for cheaper and cheaper goods. It just so happens that China is the current location we as a nation are exploiting for their cheap labor due to low wages and not having to deal with all the regulations present in more developed nations. Eventually things will mature there and standards will rise, or resources will dwindle and the environmental damage from the rapid uncontrolled industrial development will catch up to them. Having spent my career in the tech industry I see it every day. It's all about doing anything that can be done to shave pennies off the cost of goods in order to maximize quarterly profit. Cost cutting revisions of a product are made, manufactures are pushed for lower and lower bids, each time pushing to make it just a little bit cheaper to build while still projecting an acceptable number of units to last through the warranty period.
