The answer is actually not with China, but with American capitalism. Our retailers demand the highest profits at the least cost (Wal-Mart, Target, etc.) The only way to achieve this is to buy low and sell high. So....they go to foreign markets where the labor is dirt cheap. The workmanship is shoddy b/c they make so many units so quickly.
Now, you can get better built stuff, but it will cost you. And you can't get those things at Wally or K-Mart. Most people want it CHEAP. And so China will continue to produce it cheaply.

Because in China their money is really horrible compared with dollars and they treat their workers really bad so when US buy products from China its really cheap (because of their cheap money) most of the stores that buy fro mthe Chinise are wall-Mart
