I think by ""made in the US" is up there with "made in China" as an indicator of quality", he meant really low quality.

I suppose so, but the statement was just the sort of snarky one-liner that invites conversation by implying a lot of subtext.

I think the person you're replying to understands that, they were responding to the snark with facts: basically saying "hey, your stereotype is out of date: in the US, made in China doens't necessarily mean "crap" anymore, e.g. Apple."
