something made in china is not in and of itself junk, it is just a less expensive place to make a product so you thank whoever had their product manufactured in china because they just saved you a bunch of money. china has gotten a bad rap in the past because they have made some cheap stuff, but i look at a lot of electronics and i see many (all different qualities) made in china and the ones you suspect are junk before you find where they are made are usually the ones that are junk, and the ones that you suspect are nice are still nice eventhough they are made in china.
