[QUOTE="Mike Marsupial, post: 396355, member: 11868"] Yep, China is the wild west of manufacturing. There's the good, the bad and the ugly coming out of there for sure. But I could easily make a long list of Japanese and American companies selling absolute rubbish yet making outrageous claims about how well their products perform. lololol the F35 fighter is a prime example! It just doesn't work! lololol Nor do American rocket engines - that's why they buy them from the Ruskies, or get their stuff sent to the International Space Station on Russian rockets launched in Russia. Sure, there is rubbish coming out of China. There is also a hell of a lot of great stuff, as you noted. The trick is to weigh the cost advantage and profitable application of the product against it's risk of failure, defect or poor performance. Very often (please note I did NOT say always) the cheaper option ends up being decidedly more profitable, even when downtime, replacement costs, and even lesser performance are factored in. [/QUOTE]
