On my "good list":

1. Dewalt cordless tools 20v Max
*fantastic durability
*batteries work when frozen (Ryobi doesn't)
*batteries charge fast, last for days of everyday use
*made in US, China, Germany, and other places

2. Harbor Freight air compressor
*upright style, 120v
*beats my Craftsman hands down
*China made

3. Harbor Freight Daytona long reach high lift jack
*best jack I've ever owned
*better than my old SnapOn and cost 50% less
*made in China

4. Raptor style grille for my f150
*made by who knows in China
*fantastic quality, bolted right up
*very inexpensive

5. Husky hand tools
*way cheaper than Craftsman
*better quality than Kobalt
*haven't broken a ratchet yet
*best hand tools for the money
*pretty sure they're made in China

6. Egg cooker - hard boiled eggs
*best invention ever!!!
*cheap $11 from China, many brand names
*makes the best easy to peel hard boiled eggs ever!!!!

7. Golf cart brake shoes
*bought several for cheap on ebay
*fit perfectly, last long
*Made in China, unbranded

8. Runva winch
*China made, ordered from ebay
*Works fantastic, built well and heavy duty
*Got 2500lb for the price of 1500lb of most
*Currently mounted to my G1 Beast

9. Briggs Vanguard
*made in Japan
*very good quality

As I said, not all China products are bad....but there is just more junk coming out of China than any other country. The fact that you have to "be carefull" is BS to me. I stay with big box store brands because of warranties and ease of exchange should I have a problem. If I pay a really low price for something.....I expect it not to perform well or last long, it's just a shame it has to be that way.
