Don't take advice from people who have scarce idea about bikes and only study wikipedia.
Sab China se nahi aata....
Only lower priced bikes sold at Super Retail centers like Walmart, Costco or Target (ASDA for UK folks) are made in China or in some countries in Asia. That said, the quality offered by Chinese for the price is world-beater, even Indian bikes cannot compete. Only thing holding back Chinese bikes is that they attract heavy dumping tariffs in EU.
Mine is a Bianchi with a handmade alloy frame made in Italy back in the day and uses Italian gear shifter groupset made by Campagnolo, Campagnolo used to be the best shifter and groupset maker before Shimano arrived on the scene - who dominate that market now.
All bike makers (and even component makers) have low and high-priced items. Low priced items (bikes with heavy steel frames etc.) come from China and Taiwan, handmade aluminum alloy and chrome-Molybdenum (Chromoly) frames come from Italy and Western countries. some handmade alloy frames are even made in the US (for $5000 competition bikes). These frames are so light, one can easily lift them with one hand (five/six pounds).
However - Taiwan brands (such as Giant) also make some very good alloy and carbon fibre frames nowadays. Giant's higher-priced bikes are quite respectable and demand premium prices, only the top end of their line. But majority of Taiwanese or Chinese bikes aren't handmade and are usually not extremely high spec or high quality. They are made and targeted at lower price mass market.
Bianchi bikes is a brand that dates back to 1885. Founded in Italy, its headquarters and culture has remained rooted in its homeland. The bikes are designed and pieced together
