I may regret this but...
I have seen some things that are made in China that are pretty decent and high tech...
I have seen at least one new really expensive piece of equipment at work that is *very proudly* made in North America, and that is advertised as *cutting edge technology*... It came (5yrs ago) with a dot matrix printer and a brutal 1990's computer tech... *Proudly* works with all this company's equipment back to the 80's. We were able to modify it to work on a different program and it's okay, very similar to the one we replaced from the early 90's. (CNC plasma table)
I personally really try not to buy garbage from any country. In North America we may have to stay on our toes to not get passed by China tech, unless we already have been.
My saws are brand name, I buy stuff that I know I can get parts for.
I'm ready for the backlash of this, but I don't have much more to say.

Let's (live by one's principles -much better than random choices - and) not get this thread closed by getting too political and get back to the performance of saws and how they compare?
