As evidenced by the fact that the fellows in charge of the Melamine
incident were publicly executed, I think it's a safe bet that the
Chinese culture did not find it "perfectly fine".
I have a pile of crap parts made in Germany, Great Britain, Australia,
Mexico, Romania, Italy and the Good Ol' USA that have failed as well.
Anybody want to talk about fuel filler necks on Ford Pintos? Self
immolating Lotus Esprits? Volvo's explosive bumper shocks?
I don't mind a healthy discourse about parts, but lets leave racism and
cultural bias out of the equation.

Sorry, have to disagree. I know of no other culture on earth that would
consider it perfectly fine to produce baby formula made of melamine,
imitation cancer/heart medicines made of sugar, or kindergartens made of
low PSI concrete in an earthquake zone.
Any self respecting enterprise would not source brake components from
China unless they had absolute full QA/QC control on the shop floor.
Clearly Moss did not do that.
Moss quality is improving, but they should not source brake parts from
anywhere except the OECD.
