I don't blame the foreign manufacturers. I blame the companies that make decisions, contract the manufacturers, and specify the quality level. I don't care what country those decision makers are in; they are to blame. However, if there were environmental and human rights oversight in the manufacturing facilities, likely the quality of products would go up. Just look at the hoopla over Foxconn/Apple situations has caused. I don't want any product that someone has suffered unreasonably to produce. No comfort of mine is worth great suffering or damage of someone else. The don't care countries probably aren't creating the demand. More likley, it's "home country" people who were the same types who pushed the offshore software development in the previous 20 years (to enormous waste and failure) who are to blame. The poor countries are just a tool for the exploiters. Same as the African countries who get exploited for natural resources by US and western European copmanies.
