China is..shall we say..."flexible". They will produce junk but they have the ability to produce the highest quality. It all depends on the buyer's needs. And of course there are US-owned facilities in China. The US automakers own plants there, probably all US-based consumer electronics companies own plants there, US tool companies have owned plants there for decades and have complete control--including in some cases American supervision and inspection staff. Grizzly Imports comes to mind as a US tool company producing in their own factory in China with excellent quality.
Smaller companies and importers can make a couple calls and order a container of product from a "menu" of sorts with any number of upgrades & custom tweaks from a Chinese-owned factory as well. Just depends how deep your pockets are and your long-term plans.
Folks who constantly deride China for building garbage really need to get a reality check. What makes them so dangerous to our economy and production capability is precisely because they ARE so good--and can do it so cheap.
