The quality in the iPhone comes from great design and choice of materials. There is nothing particularly good (or bad) about the quality of its manufacturing. You'll also notice that non of the actually important components like the CPU or the screen come from Chines companies (yet)
Not sure this is true. I'm no manufacturing expert, but I've heard a million stories about how intensely involved Apple is in their manufacturers' processes. c.f. how the glass is fitted on iPhone 5s: http://www.idownloadblog.com/2012/09/12/how-the-iphone-5-is-...

Right, but it's assembled in China. My point is that if you care about quality, you can get quality manufacturing in China. Similarly, if you want cheap, you can get cheap.
