I'm not defending Elop by any means, I would kick him square in the balls repeatedly until he choked blood if I got my hands on him, he sold Nokia's soul to Microsoft after all. But if you think Samsung or any other large device manufacturer have no production in China, well you're kidding yourself.
To imply that devices can't be of good quality because they were made in China is just generalisation, not all factories nor employers are equal, generalisation is the type of flawed logic that helps ignorant people continue atrocities like racism to this day.
