its not just India, China has been flooding the world markets with shoddy products that barely function for decades, China needs to quit shipping junk around the world and learn the meaning of quality (pun unintended)

China produces the product quality that the buyer demands. If the buyer wants cheap and shoddy, China can produce them. If the buyer wants a top of the line smartphone, China can produce them. The quality of products with a Made in China tag has nothing to do with China's ability to produce high quality products. If we ask them to make us a bologna sandwitch, it is ridiculous to complain when they don't make us a prime ribeye.
It's not you who asked for it - it's the (often non-Chinese) parent company that specifies the quality.
Go buy a Wal-mart brand (Hyper Tough I believe these days) drill made in China, then go buy a Dewalt drill of the same type also made in China. They're both made in China but Dewalt specified/orders a higher quality because their reputation is typically better and they don't wan to lose that. As a result the Walmart brand will be cheaper and crappier and the Dewalt will cost more but be better.
if the free market cared about quality it would pay for quality. that's the fatal flaw of globalization, the one with the lowest standards is the most competitive.
If you want China to quit producing junk, quit buying it. If you want central America to quit making illegal narcotics, then America needs to quit buying them.
I'm not saying the above is a morale and just way to run our society. But it does appear to be how things work currently.
