In all fairness to Asian laborers (and all laborers worldwide), I admit that I've read about serious manufacturing defects occurring in some of the most expensive, high-end products available in the marketplace today and most of these high-end products are not yet being made in Asia. It should be considered almost inexcusable for high-end gear to fail prematurely or to be poorly designed but both of those things do happen on occasion.Rigorous quality control inspections do not always guarantee perfect QC. There is something about the nature of routine, repetitive assembly work. It corrodes mental clarity, exposing the discontinuities in almost anyone's attention span, over time - no matter how motivated and/or well paid they might be. That's why it's a wonder that the budget and mid-priced components (mostly Asian imports) that many of us own and love do not fail or go back for warranty returns more often than they do.
