Was the "made in China" label originally enforced on imported products to discourage their purchase? I feel like I remember reading that somewhere...

It was the case for "made in Germany" which became a sign for high quality later on. I don't really know about "made in China" though. I myself would rather associate it with lower quality stuff, although that really generalizes chinese products for the worst ones.
