And some of the worst, too.
I think the trick with Chinese-made products is to look at the reputation of the company that is branding the product, rather than just the country of origin.
If a product is sold by a company that has a good reputation and it is marked as meeting Western standards (for example, a CE mark or UL mark), then it's not a major concern that it was manufactured in China.
On the other hand, if the product is branded by a Chinese company that you have never heard of, and sold at a remarkably low price for a commodity such as copper... then stay away from it, because if it looks too good to be true, it probably is.
