The bad rep that China gets for making shit is mass produced knock off shit.
A company can have manufacturing in China with good quality control and come out OK.
One example to take this with a grain of salt. I got a Omega Mastocating juicer (it crushes instead of shreds). They usually manufacture in the USA. Came out with a cheaper model built in China. Guess what? The locking ring started snapping on loads of them. The part is under loads of pressure so it needs to be build to spec. The Chinese factory was trying to save money by remelting the leftover plastic into the parts. Weakening the part.
Omega issued a recall. Set a policy to stop cutting that corner. Basically fixed the issue.
I mean. It's on a manager to save money so he was doing his job. Same shit would happen in the states. Still adds to the bad rep. Omega stepped up and made the right move to fix it. Rep really comes down to the company.
