I owned a Norinco 1911 A1 once and everytime I took it to the range some part would break and fall off.
That does not fit in with my experience, my "Nork" is very reliable. It's not a Dan Wesson but cost less than a third of what a DW cost. Also, it's the only 1911 I own that has a hard chromed bore! Very nice pistol, and an honest one, no MIM like American makers have managed to slip past stupid American buyers.

think of anything you've seen made by them thats not substandard...price is all that matters thses days, everything's disposable.
I got my free China made peanut knife two days ago, the ones the NRA gives to donators. I've been buying knives for many years, but this is the first knife I could shave with right out of the box! Quality? If you are expecting junk from China you better find a time machine, their quality is rising very fast. Did you guys know that Buck has a factory in China? The little Buck penknife I bought made in the USA was not as nicely made as the new one made in China, I'm sorry to have to say that but it's true.

Yes, you can order junk from China, but pay a Chinese factory 1/2 of what an American factory makes and you will actually get better quality!
India is next, soon they will enter the market, learn QC and run with sales all over the world.

The fact is that extremely high quality products can be made in any country if you pay for quality. It's not all about wages, it's also about government interference, which we have in spades and our competitors don't.
