I agree that Made in China used to be a great indicator of poor quality, but that being said, it's gotten a lot harder to make that case. Chinese manufacturing is moving forward by leaps and bounds. There's still a language barrier that will come up with anything with an interface that wasn't made in the States, but in terms of actual functions, I own a lot of Shenzhen stuff that works totally fine. And yes I understand for those on the poverty line it doesn't really apply, just saying the buying power of everyone in general has gone up with the introduction of low cost labor. Even that is temporary though, already workers in these areas are demanding better conditions and wages.
