It isn't that the Chinese can't produce excellent quality products but rather that you know it is being done in China to reduce cost but you have no way of knowing whether you are getting the same quality of product because the reputation for MIC products varies all over the place. Personally, if I order a Danish speaker I expect it to be made in Denmark at those prices. I assume I am getting the quality of labor and manufacture and components that the countries produced products are known to produce.
On the other hand, I may take my chances if the price difference is sufficient to justify the risk.
