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