^ Agree with what you said, but the view of "if it's made in China, then it's probably not worth buying" is totally unfair.
Assume the probability of getting a fake from China is the same goods made in the rest of the world (for argument's sake, let's say 5%). Then consider the sheer volume of goods that China produces for the entire world vs any other country. 5% of that is much, much greater than any other country's exports. So while the influx of bad Chinese products is partly due to lack of adequate policy/implementation of existing policies, a good chunk of it is due to just the sheer volume of Chinese exports.
So the reason why you read all the stories about tainted Chinese products is partly due to how much China actually produces. You will less frequently read about tainted US products because the US doesn't produce nearly as much than China does. And I'm not even considering the amount of media manipulation that happens when reporting stories - not in terms of the story's contents, but the choice in the amount and frequency of the stories.
What's more accurate is to say that if any product is fake, then don't buy it, period, no matter where it is from. Including that they're made in China doesn't add anything to your argument, and it also offends people along the way. I'm sure you didn't mean to, but I read that a lot on forums and it upsets me to see the matter-of-fact nature of the "made in China" argument.
