Subframe issues, Country of manufacture

Hey guys. As I go through the subframe thread I wondered if the country of origin has something to do with it. For context, I just changed the diff oil this weekend and did a thorough inspection of the subframe. Granted I'm in California, but there's no hint of rust, even superficial. This includes looking in nooks and crannies that water might pool, and this car goes out rain or shine, parks outside and doesn't have any of that undercoating malarkey that the dealership sells. Which caused me to ask about origin.

So would the guys with subframe issues chime in where their cars were made? No input needed from those whose subframes are ok. Manufacturing locations swiped from Wikipedia.
