I live in the USA so I prefer things made in USA. Not always possible or affordable. I have made some buying decisions paying more for the USA made item, but I have my limits as well.
As far as quality, there are Chinese items that are crappy and there are those that are superb. Take a look at a PrimaLuna amplifier or a Columbia River Knife & Tool (CRKT) knife. ISO 900x factory certification goes a long way towards insuring quality whether here or abroad.
If you've never had a pair of ISO 9002 certified boxer shorts, you're in for a treat.
