Made in China

Made in China or Made in PRC is a country of origin label, often in English language, affixed to products wholly or partially made in the People's Republic of China (PRC). The label became prominent in the 1990s, when foreign companies based in the United States, Europe and Asia moved their manufacturing operations to China due to China's low production costs of clothing, electronics and other goods. "Made in China" eventually became associated with cheap, exploitable labor, churning out numerous mass market products of low quality.

Goods "made in China", however, have been produced through supply chains that usually included multiple countries along the way.
