Why are Chinese-made goods automatically associated with low quality?

Are these ideas really based in reality? Is it mostly stereotype?

Basically because importers of these goods from china to u.s. are the middle men. Either are having them manufacturer at the lowest cost possible for maximum profit. So you can’t blame china on that one cause the person ordering to sell to us are basically accepting the bid from the cheapest manufacturer for that product. Probably never even stepped foot in their manufacturing plant. Even in china we have to VERY carefully choose what we buy. In the U.s. depending on type of goods we maybe have a hand full to choose from. Over here you might have 10+ or 20 brands manufacturing the same thing with their own logos and slight differences. Also U.s. buyers have brand loyalty and pic products depending on brand and design. Not saying us as Americans don’t look for quality. Just as a collective and mass majority of Asians when they shop and spend money are VERY picky and inspect the merchandise thoroughly before buying. Ever seen a Chinese lady buying fruits? They don’t go just by how it looks. They smell it. Squeeze it a little and then inspect it. Just an example
