IMO - much with any country - the trick is finding a good company to work with.
I've been using Seeed so far, who do seem pretty competent. They are however not that cheap, and I wouldn't be surprised if when everything is added up I could get boards produced for very similar prices in England.
I think it says a lot about Seeed that I've been able to get all the Espruino boards produced there without visiting China once. Contrast that to the one company I tried in the UK where I ended up visiting loads, and yet there were still a lot of problems :)
