My son was sent out to China by a large UK engineering company to try and improve the quality control at their Chinese factory making hydraulic control components. After 6 months he recommended either selling the factory to a local combine, who would then have to take responsibility for the reject rate or simply just shut it down. Getting consistent really high quality appeared to be impossible and having to work via an interpreter did not help either. My father used to say you can have cheap or good but both is very unlikely.

Given that after 7 months, I am still waiting for a software update for my 2018 model Panamera, to correct instrumentation errors (speedometer does not change from MPH to KPH), which Porsche admit was their fault, I suspect getting them to repatriate production of relays for old cars is a non-starter.
