Apple loves to play games with the MADE IN label on their new iPhones and iPads by moving the final assembly of products out of China to places like Mexico, Vietnam, Brazil, the Czech Republic or Taiwan. But, the components of your Apple product was still likely manufactured by Chinese hands in a Chinese factory.
My point was that everything coming out of China isn't automatically crap. China makes some of the best smart phones on the market. And Chinese manufacturing of knives in particular has really improved over the last decade, with lots of great knives on the market at great prices. So, I always scratch my head when folks dismiss a knife simply because it is made in China.
Americans won't work cheaply enough to produce a knife the quality (such as it is) of a Kershaw Cinder for $7.10, for which I cannot blame them. Nor do American's seem to be willing to pay double to have the same goods manufactured here, which I am equally guilty of.
If you've made the decision to avoid Chinese made products as much as possible for political reasons, then you are a better person than I am and I respect your decision.

I had a job where a good knife was necessary but those knives barely leave the house now.

minimal regulation such as worker safety or pollution
currency manipulation
selective trade barriers and/or dumping which once you take a whole industry, you don't need to keep in place. Such as mining outside China is met with Chinese dumping of that mining product which will shut down that mining initiative. Once its shut down China resumes higher prices because if anyone tried start mining to compete, they know China will undercut them so usually no one tries.
I keep one on my keys. It's so small
