If you've never had a giant, steaming, fragrant bowl of Pho from a good Vietnamese noodle house, served with fresh cilantro to tear up and sprinkle on it, you have no idea what you're missing. :9
As to apple juice, a whole lot of apple juice comes from China, yes, because it's cheaper, and probably not all to safe. If you buy the cheapest, in that case, caveat emptor. More expensive brands use apples only from the US. I buy local cider.
