What products, specifically? I think over the last 70 or 80 years or so, manufacturing quality has probably gone up across the baord everywhere. I think there are a lot of products where the process to build them are improved over time. I've seen this in what people say about guitars - A lot of the budget guitars sold in the US are made in other countries (Mexico, China, Indonesia, and Korea, among others). It used to be that a lot of people would say US-made guitars are better in quality, but these days, I've seen a lot of reviews of such guitars saying their build quality is excellent.
Similarly, with cars, in the 80s, I remember hearing about quality problems with cars from American companies. I think American car makers have learned and have gotten better since then. But also, some American car companies have factories in Mexico and other countries that make some of their cars.
