I do understand that Chinese manufacturers cut corners mostly at the behest of US buyers who want lower prices.
If you specify what you want and are willing to pay for, it their quality is acceptable.

While it is true that you can get some real worthless junk out of China, It's wrong to automatically assume that its junk just because it is Made in China just like it is wrong to automatically assume that it is quality just because it is made in the USA. China puts out some quality stuff (but it's not cheap)and the USA puts out some junk. You have to loom at the actual product to determine it's quality, not it's country of origin. However, there is nothing wrong with wanting to support local manufacturers and therefore only look at Made in USA products. Just don't assume that it means they are quality. Bottom line, you can NOT get quality cheap, regardless of country of origin. You can, however get expensive junk so beware.
