What do you think?

Absolutely not. But if you go there looking for $0.01 FETs, yes, they will be crap. Quality stuff costs money, even in China.

Really?! Show me 1 (one) Original 2SA1943, 2SC5200 from china (aliexpress). LOL

Much of a product's cost in the US is covering risk exposure and regulatory compliance. Neither of which apply to Chinese manufacturers.

I would guess there's a lot of surplus parts there too. We used to have loads of surplus stores in the US that would sell leftover bits acquired from various companies. Now almost all of the production is in China so it stands to reason that most of the surplus would be in China. There must be loads of resourceful people developing widgets based on batches of cheap parts they scored.

I'm pretty sure a lot of the cheap parts on Ali Express, eBay, etc., come from those kinds of sources.
