The very worse pencils you can get are Chinese pencils. They don't write well, and the lead keeps breaking off them, so much so that I blame them for causing a decline in the use of pencils. A good pencil doesn't break like that, and is better at providing precise, steady lines as opposed to pens, and doesn't smear. If you want cheap Chinese pencils that will cause you to hate penciling, you can probably find a bunch of cheap doesn't work right ones at places like Staples. These are made in Mexico, at least the one I'm looking at from them now was, probably not so bad as the worst of the worst from China, but still treacherous feeling from a company that used to heavily advertise as American.
There is still many american made pencils. I bought a few brands recently, and I got them at a similar price and better quality, enough to last a long while.

Why is American made better?
Just like Chinese pencils are the very worst crap, they break constantly, smear, and have no quality control, besides dishonest marketing including fake reviews and troll accounts (now a flood).
I noticed Chinese pencils were really bad a long time ago, and eventually learned to stop cussing at them when they broke, and look elsewhere.
Part of the reason is the two systems are different. America is a free enterprise system, and when bad money and crooked politics and regulation are kept out of it, the tendency is to work better, and differentiate your product by quality, and seek a willing (eager) buyer who is pleased by it. China is a communist country. People hate to be forced to work without their own decision - whether they say it or not. Doing a quality job for others doesn't matter in that sort of system - in fact it is others that are forcing them as slaves, as opposed to trying to ask them to by valued pay if they will. I imagine the Uyghurs it.
China also in contrast cares nothing for quality or name - after all everyone has to buy whatever the communists think is best for them. Working to please customers means nothing to them,
they please communists. So they produce all these fake brands, imitations, knockoffs, copies etc, because quality and a good name coming from doing good business means nothing to them. Just look at America - one of their largest customer. The communist country China hates their customer. Which in a free country, tends to be the opposite - "the customer is king" maxim.
And America has simply been making world quality pencils for a longer time - more than two hundred years. Finally, the spiritual reason is more important, and leads straight into the economic differences. A people with a puritan work ethic would never do the shoddy behavior coming from China, but China is not puritans. The economic systems and political systems flows from moral and spiritual principles (or the lack).
Those are the two extremes. Other countries produce pencils, for instance, Ticonderoga, which used to be an American company, now produces in Mexico. And they are still an okay pencil, not the utterly cheap crap a Chinese pencil is, but not as good as they once were, and their brand reputation is now undeserved, because they cheapened the quality compared to the american pencils from different manufactures I use.
