That depends on what you buy. China can make exce4llent quality

No, if you _contract_ for quality, inspect, and hold them to the
contract then you get quality. If you pay a high price and don't do
your end of the QC job, you get high-priced junk.

It's not just the Chinese who work that way. When Jaguar finally
implemented receiving inspection on their electrical components they
ended up rejecting almost all of what the Prince of Darkness shipped
them. That story is famous in automotive circles--I understand that
Lucas nearly went bankrupt before they got their own quality control
up to snuff.
