sorry to revive an old thread - i found it because i was investigate a chinese clone amp.
but all this china bashing is really a bit absurd and misplaced, imo. the FACT is that you can thank all the western mega-corporations for helping to create what is china today. they're the ones who, in search of ever more profits to pad their and their rich stockholder profits, decided to offshore their manufacturing to take advantage of cheap labor, and non-existent safety and environmental regs to rip off western consumers, selling the goods at the same prices as if they cost the same to produce. and decimating the working class in their own countries.
you reap what you sow...
