Most bike parts are made out in the east, including some of the best stuff available. What you get from a reputable brand name is quality control. Word from a friend who spoke to a Wilier rep is they test 1 frame out of every batch of 10 produced to destruction, and if it falls below standards they remove that batch and one either side.
I have some chinese carbon tubs which I picked up for cheap, they do me well and I haven't had any issues yet. Getting them trued/tensioned by a good mechanic was worthwhile though.
