I think the real issue is R&D. A number of companies that are based in places like taiwan try and copy whats popular and sell it as their own with very little R&D. If a reputable company like Buddy Club outsources to taiwan, I'd imagine that they would still make good products if the only thing that is changing is the country in which they are manufacturing.

Too true, but we must not forget Quality Control, with all the R&D in the world, a product will still suck if the outsourced manufacturer doesn't adhere to strict quality control.
Any country in the world can make excellent quality parts given quality materials, quality tools, strict quality standards and quality workmanship.
Can you tell I used to work with TPS (Toyota Production System) in manufacturing? Hahaha
