that's right.

Most "rare Earth" Magnets like neodymium do come from china. The german manufacturer Flyware (good brushless motors) get their magnets from china. Most or probably all nimh batteries come from china; IB Intellect Batteries are chinese, and are they crap? And almost any Lipo is manufactured either in China or Taiwan.

It depends on the quality assurance, if a chinese product is crap or not. the german slot-car brand "Carrera" have moved the assembly from Germany to China some years ago. After some problems in the beginning, they now have just excellent quality.

Sooner or later china will be a problem for both american and european brands. Because we rely on the fact that we're good... but things change...
