I've read that 50% of the world's consumer goods are manufactured in China. That's an amazing statistic if true. I wonder what that percentage would be if you looked at all of asia, as Japan is still a large manufacturing base, and places like Thailand, Viet Nam, and the rest of SE Asia must make up a decent percentage, too.
Ultimately, we as consumers decided this. People had a choice between quantity and quality, and the market always goes with quantity. People are always after the cheapest possible price, and this is the natural result.
