Made in China does not mean the item is junk
Chinese factories make WHAT THE CUSTOMER ORDERS and if the customer is Walmart who orders "the cheapest possible part" then that is what they make .
If the custoer is Harvard University and they ask for " the highest precision possible " then that is what they get.
The reason why the USA ( And OZ ) is awash with junk that is made in China is because the USA companies order junk quality and mark it up somewhere between 5 and 10 times the purchase price then sell it for 10% less than the quality item made in the USA / Canada / Australia and of course we buy them thinking we will be getting a bargan because we are cheap, greedy & selfish .
Bearing factories in China will brand a bearing with whatever name the customer wants .
So slick Sam orders 10,000,0000 shopping trolley grade ( unhardened high carbon steel balls & races ) 6203 bearings with the word Timken printed on them for 50¢ a piece
He then orders 10,000,000 bearing cartons printed the same as a Timken box .
When they arrive in the USA ( Oz , The Phillipines etc ) slippery Sam gets the bearings removed from the trays & put in the boxes.
HE then uses the retail platform custom built for selling stolen & counterfeit goods , ebay & amazon to sell them into the USA market .
HE pays an Indian IP company to post good feed backs then sits there raking in the cash from the suckers ( you ) who are too cheap for their own good .
The most counterfitted items on the planet are bearings .
Timken at the moment are paying a reward to people who send them fake Timken bearings with the purchase receipt so they can trace them back to the source & prosecute .
IF the Timkens you bought were purchases off ebay or Amazon then there is a 99% chance they are fake .
If you bought them from a real bearing shop either ovr the counter or on line then there is 99% chance they are genuine .
Chinese factories do not sit there making fake / infeariour products then look for some one to sell them to.
They only produce to order so it is flag waving , church going , sound patriots who order all the junk you buy .
