I couldn't care less where my item is produced. It just so happens that a large variety of high-end products are produced at a higher level of quality (and cost, generally) in the West (including S Korea and Japan); but if someone introduced me to a Nigerian, Mexican, Thai, etc product that surpassed my current choice, I would switch in an instant.

I don't understand caring at all about the source, unless there is some fundamental moral hangup with it (such as blood diamonds, for instance).
