That's not a very fair bet; almost every bit of consumer electronics is 
manufactured in China or has most of its components manufactured there.

However, if the suggestion is the responsibility for poor EMC lies in 
China, that's not true.  A lot of the responsibility comes down to the 
purchasers, who want minimum prices and do not care about features that 
only benefit non-purchasers.  Beyond that are the marketing 
organisations that wouldn't know what EMC measurements actually mean, 
and the corporate management that only knows how to manipulate the stock 
market.

If you buy something from a UK/US marketing organisation, and it is of 
poor quality, they cannot "blame their tools", by saying it was the 
suppliers fault; they should have chosen better suppliers, or paid 
people with appropriate technical knowledge, to do quality control.

Governments also have a responsibility.
