Well, that's what I meant by reverse engineering.  But, yeah, if you start with 
a poor copy you're gonna get a worse copy with reverse engineering.

Sammie I think the deal is in china they don't use a blueprint. They simply 
copy a part they have physical possession of. Probably the part they are 
copying isn't even OG. So they end up making a poor copy of poorly made copy. 
Hence you get the result we see now. That's my guess anyway.

I don't think Chinese food made and prepared in the US qualifies.  My problem 
is I don't think the Chinese mfg in China can either read a blue print (do we 
still call them that) or reverse engineer a part.  Then of course there is the 
problem of them trying to export lots of lead in paint.  Not a chemist so I 
haven't figured that one out.  Do they simply have an overabundance of lead 
that they are trying to get rid of?

Last week I drove my bus to get Chinese food and I ordered orange chix and when 
I got home it was kung pow chix.  Oh ya and my 6 month old fan made in china 
came apart a couple of weeks ago.

It was so poorly welded and at an angle that wasn't even close enough to fit.

It's Monday and there is not much traffic on here so I thought I would throw 
out a tidbit of inormation.
 
Just got through reading a news release on a recall of Walt Disney glasses 
(drinking) that were being sold at DisneyLand/World.  Made in China, painted 
Disney characters on the glasses, contain something like 400 times the safe 
lead level content in the paint.
 
Yesterday, friend called.  Wanted to know if I had a center intake manifold for 
dual port; duh, yeah, how many do you want.  He had just bought a new one ($75) 
and started installing it.  Guess what:  The long pipe was on the short pipe 
side and the short pipe was on the long side.  Will install and work just fine 
except the carb would now be located just about the center of the generator.  
Guess where it was made? 
 
And at $75 each I have just discovered I am rich.
 
And I can't wait to buy the next Chinese made VW part for my bus.
