Why do so many people here go nuts over very low quality gear from China?

That's exactly what I mean. Closer to home as in the countries where the products are retailed not manufactured.

We can thank the west for bringing the Asians up to speed firstly and how they have the skills and knowledge to continue to push the boundary's of performance vs price.

Still I'm with the OP, if a datasheet spec says something it needs be met or we can rightly call it junk.

Caveat emptor !

Bullshit. For the huge variety of products we are not given a choice anymore, ALL of it is produced in China. You cant choose.

Yeah I wish there was choice to buy stuff made in Canada.  I would always buy that first even if it's more expensive.

That's my biggest gripe about the low cost gear, not so much that the performance is lacking for the price, but the fact that the performance doesn't match the claimed spec. People don't (or shouldn't) expect high performance from low end gear but it's perfectly reasonable to expect it to perform as advertised.

We had a choice, we made that choice years ago and now we are living with the consequences of that choice. The average consumer is ill informed and shops purely based on price. The cheapest junk has always been the top sellers.
