Abe,
Definitely agree with you on this. I work in the medical industry and designed ways to detect counterfeit medications in the supply chain. China has one of the highest counterfeit drug rates in the world at around 80 to sometimes 90 percent! Couldn't believe it when I first saw drug companies farm out their manufacturing to China and they wonder why the recent Heparin deaths were surprising? Also, the US reduced the amount of FDA inspectors due to cost. It was bound to happen and again cost was the primary driver. Though audio components is one thing, gambling with one's health and live is another.
