Ha!, here in N.Z. it is extremely rare to find something *not* made in
China. In fact some people I know find it amusing picking up objects to
see if they are not made in China. More often than not, sure enough, -- 
"made in China"  <leans over> Dell laptop power supply --sure enough--
"made in China" <picks up lighter from table> --sure enough-- "made in
China" Mind you the ashtray says made in France, but that was bought
many moons ago, from a specialty shop.

So it seems like pretty well all the "cheap" stuff is Made in China.
