[MENTION=229219]Medic Zero[/MENTION], it isn't universal, but sometimes we get sentimental about European made stuff and eschew Asian made stuff. I'm as guilty as the next guy. And while a lot of cheap crap used to come from Taiwan, the opposite is now true. And the same story happened with Japan several years earlier. When I was a kid, the words "made in Japan" made us giggle. Not only that, lots of cheap crap has been known to come from Europe.
