Here's your best bet--the Victor C-7044 Outdoor Badminton Set. It's Made in Taiwan.

Victor is one of the big names in professional Badminton, and they keep most of their production in Taiwan. Unlike cheap $10 sets, these racquets don't break right away and can withstand some intense playing. The sad reality is that companies get away with selling $10 sets because most people buy it but don't play it more than a few times.
Yonex is probably the biggest. It's based in Japan, but they outsource a ton of their production to China now, especially the lower end stuff.
Avoid Li Ning, which is a 100% China company. Also avoid Wilson which, believe it or not, is also a company owned by China (it was acquired by Finnish company Amer Sports, which itself was acquired by China's Anta Sports. That's right, a portion of every Wilson footballs, baseball gloves, tennis racquet goes to support the Chinese Communist Party.
