If they cared at all about quality, they wouldn't make it in China. Having design studio in Vancouver and Shanghai means nothing nor does it say "quality".
For what it is, DD is priced unreasonably high.

One of my friends spent many years there as a consultant for manufacturing processes and he too shared your same sentiments. He was resolved to think that it was a cultural and mental engrained way of getting to the wealth. Forgoing any and all quality where possible made him question his purpose there and ultimately leave.
But he did see also where the USA was faltering within the use of unions making us less competitive and mobile.
Where is the balance......that is hard to find and do well.
