Granted we knock the Chinese (me included sometimes), but to be honest, they are good at making most things, either manufactured - say I phones for instance or the parts therin, or industrial motors (most 0.25kW to 45.0kW inclusive are Chinese manufacturers) made under strict guidelines, and rebadged to suit different suppliers - even seimens.
Uk manufactured items are dodgy sometimes as they try to compete in price, not all - just a few, the company I worked for prior to my latest job, made fans, where the competitions HEAVY DUTY CONSTRUCTION AT A PREMIUM PRICE - was our standard, so a client could buy a rivals for say £1000.00 and it would last a year maybe, then he would by another the following year and so on, justifying to the bean counter, "look I've bought a fan for £1000.00 in this years budget", the other manufacturer (us) would have cost £2500.00. Yet ours would last 4-5 years or longer, so do the math. We also made them to suit the application and adjusted them to suit the connection and situation, whereas they may have had to buy special tapers and other bits to make it fit. But I'm not bitter - much.
