I think the point is that Chinese products are getting progressively less crappy. Rapidly, even. Just like what happened to every other up and coming industrial power.

Perhaps another 4-5 years and the same will be true across a lot more product categories.

Made in USA/Germany will simply become what Made in the UK became long ago. [1]

"Made in Germany" was introduced to mark it as an inferior foreign product and became later a sign of quality.So China may be following in Germany's footsteps.

Maybe. I had already assumed many product parts were made in China and the only difference was how much quality control was put into place.
