I don\'t give a rat\'s posterior where a thing is designed and engineered because, in the end, somebody in a plant across the pond will make a unilateral decision to cut costs or ignore quality metrics in the interest of higher production numbers and increased profit.
This is particularly true in China.
FYI, I work for a large multi-national corp. with plants in N. America, S. America, India and China and we spend an inordinate amount of time trying to figure out when the Chinese are cutting corners and /or not telling us the truth. They have slipped counterfeit components into electrical systems, used unspecified alloying elements in castings (or omitted them altogether) and mixed parts from unapproved sources into the bins containing parts from certified vendors. And these are just the things we know about. Who knows what they may have actually gotten away with.
Maybe PCB has a better handle on it we do...
