The mindset of the worker has alot to do with the quality of the product. I have relatives who opened factories in China when the barriers started coming down and a worker who is used to getting paid regardless of quality isn't going to change overnight. They had to train and build their labor pool from scratch and tap into the younger workers who weren't ingrained with bad habbits. I imagine companies like Grizz and Apple did something along those lines too. It's been at least 15 years or so since I spoke with them so I don't know what their take on the labor situation is anymore.
Looking at the powertools that I've bought for woodworking, I've started looking for quality and am realizing my tools are either older U.S. made tools that I did not buy new or from Europe. Except for a Grizz j/p.
