"sure enough, six transistors, but two of them had all three leads soldered to the ground plane."
That situation didn't improve because Japanese companies suddenly became honest. It stopped because the FTC passed regulations that made it illegal. Same thing for the ridiculous peak power claims by Japanese audio manufacturers starting in the early '70s. That didn't stop until the government put the hammer down. Even then, the regulations didn't impact autosound, and absurdly false product claims have continued in that industry to the present day. So as not to give the wrong impression, Japan in general is aligned much more closely with Western values and practices than countries like China. All Chinese companies of any real magnitude are linked to the CCP in one way or another. Most maintain product quality only at whatever minimal level is forced on them by partners and buyers. There's little or no intrinsic concern about quality or customers.
