Taiwan use to make a bunch of junk also, but they have gotten much better over the years. Japan started it first and the Korean and Taiwanese were next. I just saw a Utube vid on Chinese bicycle components. Cheaply priced, but they seem to work ok according to the tester. I wouldn't put them on my race bike, but for general riding to the park or Starbucks, sure, why not? Shimano DuraAce group is 3500 bucks. The cheap Chinese knock off is 1300 bucks. What's not to like. Yes, we keep feeding the monster, but without the feed, they can't advanced. We are going run ourselves into the sand bar and get stuck there one day with the Chinese. They will have us by the balls.
