Well, the really important parts are Taiwanese crap. ;)
But (more seriously), the thing to remember is that the "Chinese crap" stereotype dates back to the days when China didn't have a notable electronics assembly industry... so nearly all the crap hitting US shores was cheap crap. Japan was the big Asian tech producer back then, and we still did a substantial bit of consumer (and industrial) electronics production in-country.
The "Chinese crap" argument fails to realize that yes, all cheap crap is made in China, because everything is made in China.
