yes, the tags on my shirts and toys and trinkets all used to say "made in China." Now they say "made in Bangladesh" or "made in Cambodia."
It's a phase. China has been around for five millenia, after all. They're experiencing growing pains. On my last trip to china (in 2012 for about a month) I was astonished by how much prices had risen--and even more by the number of fat people I saw walking around on the streets, which is something I never saw ten or more years ago--obviously their wages (and belt sizes) are increasing, but I seriously doubt that its sweatshop jobs are being "stolen" by people in places like Detroit and Tuscaloosa.
