Nah! Why on earth would China try to kill off its most lucrative market?
Throughout the world, some factories produce, for whatever reason - be it by accident or by deviance in one of its employees, tainted products. And on that basis they sink or swim.
China, like any exporter, would far rather export good stuff and build goodwill, growing their markets.

Gotta agree with Buzz... who profits if people lose confidence in Chinese goods? Not China. Makes you wonder who is really responsible for this rash of bad Chinese goods.

Many Western countries now have their manufacturing done in China. The bigger the brand, the more likely that there is stricter adherence to quality control, often because the companies that own the brands own the factories in China. Other brands sub-contract to existing Chinese companies and although they have 'control' of the manufacturing processs, it could be unlikely that they have the same amount of control they would get if they owned the factory...I'm guessing.
And to put things in perspective, there have been many cases of 'tainted' American manufactured goods being sold to Americans (ditto Europeans etc); it is inevitable that these issues will arise for countless different reasons.

When my friend Lisa and I were younger we used to go to markets and buy a load of rubbish - cheap clothes, cheap jewellery - you name it we bought it!
When we used to go back to her house to parade our "finery (which was already turning our necks green!) her mum used to roll her eyes and say "More shit from China" in a deadpan voice. It used to crack us up and its become our catchphrase now about any old tat we can use it for but sadly - its true!

Yup. Wally World goes out of its way to sell Chinese crap. The robber barons have returned to sell us stuff to excercise our remote control muscles produced by child labor. Gotta love em'

Quite simply, China is the world's factory. The reason is simple: we want cheap goods and china can supply them, thanks to their extremely low pay - and their massive workforce.

You know what's made over here? Duct Tape. Found it at Wally World and wondered what part of the far east it came from. You could have knocked me over with a feather. Florida for cripes sake.

Just about everything except for my remote that was made in Malasia. It will continue for a long time.
It isn't because manufacturers can have all the hard stuff done over there by an uncomplaining work force so that when products get over here, they are unloaded, repackaged, and sold by lower paid unorganized workers with no pensions, and no medical benefits....Nah...

We get 30% of our air pollution from China on the west coast. Maybe Gore and all the tree huggers can have a concert there. 
Most of the worlds steel is manufactured there. Bummer
