The main reason for that is because everything now is designed around a price point Before you shout out "it's made in China" and cheap it was designed to reach that price point. If u want a $2 widget, The Chinese will make you a $2 widget, you get what you pay for. If you want a $4 widget they can make that also and it will be a better quality.(look at your Iphone or half the electronics in your car) All manufactures do that ...not just the Chinese. It's all about profit not quality.
