Usually if something is made in America it is a product of very high quality (except for food). This must be a deeper cultural thing and not just regulatory culture.

Nope. It's just regulation.

Nope. Definitely not just regulation. China has regulation in spades but the culture breaks it.

Culture plays a huge role. Source: first hand experience living in China (highly broken culture), Taiwan (pretty mature and functional culture, but with some problems like “the boss knows best even if he doesn’t”), India (seriously broken with the caste system but also a strong sense of propriety) and the US (mixed bag, comparable to Taiwan in a lot of ways).

Culture is shaped by enforcement of regulation. It's the same thing.

Saying they are the same thing is ludicrous.

But if you're saying they shape each other, that I can agree with.
