It's not confirmation bias, it's literally engineering. My XC70 and every Volvo our family had before it (3, mind you) were all built outside of China and each worked excellently for over a decade. In fact you can still see old Volvos proudly plodding around Ithaca, though not so much the new ones. A couple of years after buying the (Chinese-built) S80 it was clearly suffering from repeat electrical defects that were expensive and regularly required. I'm not sure how that fact can be any less biased.
