Consumerism is a disease and manufacturing in places to maximize the end profit is one of the worst symptoms. However we can't just blame the companies and manufacturers, it is OUR fault also. If more people would ignore the cheap crap coming in from those companies and buy better quality stuff, or even buy only American made stuff, the market would shift in favor of those types of items as the demand would be higher for them.
As it is now, with consumerism, everyone just wants to have more and more stuff, regardless of how cheap it is. So there is a huge demand for cheaply made garbage from China. Also, you think the "made in China" stuff is crap here, you should see what it looks like IN China haha
