I did say "crappy Chinese charger" to differentiate it from a "good Chinese charger." Good and bad chargers are made in China. I doubt anyone makes bad chargers anywhere else these days.
There are some frighteningly dangerously designed chargers on the market. A couple of weeks ago a woman was killed by a bad USB charger in Australia.
Chargers are often afterthoughts, someone will design a decent light then just buy a commodity charger on the market somewhere.
