Taiwanese products are now respected like Japanese. I now see anything stamped made in Taiwan as a plus both for trustworthy quality and good value for money.
I can remember when that was not the case at all.
The quality of Chinese made deeply depends on the company concerned. If it's a company from outside China with a good name that has set up shop in China, they can churn out top shelf stuff, especially
when the technical comonentry is likely sourced from Japan or Germany anyway. My Kodak easyshare from 12 years ago is still going strong and feels solid as a rock in my hand and was made in China.
