China can build to any quality specified. To say everything manufactured in China is junk is a very broad and incorrect generalization.
John Deere has been using Chinese parts for a long time now, and the engines in their new Gators are sourced from a Chinese car company. They are far from junk.
My younger brother has a lot of experience in metallurgy. He is a proto-type aero-space machinist. He knows his metals and how to work with them. He knows all too well about their metal working ability.
One thing China is not good at, is metallurgy. Their metals basically suck in a big way.
I'm aware that many US products have Chinese-made parts in them. There's nothing that I can do about that. But, I will not go out of my way to buy a product that was made in China.
China has it's reputation for a very good reason, not only products manufactured there, but human rights, politics, and poor health-care, are only a few of the issues currently plaguing their country.
