Thats such a weak argument. Considering my iphone is made in china as well as the nike shirt i'm wearing, my shoes and even my "swiss" watch... I don't think quality is really a problem. If anything, its a problem in the state where overhead and costs to manufactur are much greater and corners have to be cut.
