You also better not fly on a newer Boeing or Airbus if you're afraid of China. Chinese parts on those too! So scary!
Well - there's certainly a lot of junk that's made in China. I don't necessarily trust the design if it was actually done in China. But contract manufacturing in China is another thing. As I mentioned earlier, it's Foxconn, Quanta, or Asus - Taiwanese companies setting up factories in China. They run a tight ship, like Michelin or Honda. I wouldn't worry about the build quality of anything made in one of their factories, whether it's in China, India, or Eastern Europe. Now I personally wouldn't trust something like one of those Chinese designed "hover boards" where the battery charging systems are so bad that they tend to catch on fire.
