I asked too. Its not the production that moved to china. The steel is coming from china, and if the steel isn't processed/forged correctly it will be brittle and snap. I've been using Chinese steel for some industrial applications and it's horrendous. I've literally snapped number 4 rebar with my bare hands.
The good steel comes from USA, Germany, and India but it's almost double the price.
