Very true Tom,  I lived in China for a year or so and saw first hand the
"quality control".   The story thats never told is that when the tubes or
other items come back from failure,  the chief engineer and all his
associates
are many times called out into the center courtyard and in front of the
factory workers tried for "crimes against the state" for making inferior
products..  then one bullet each with the tab for the bullet being sent to
the next of kin to pay for..  happened to several engineers at a
refrigerator factory that had a problem with failures,  while I was
living there.   Makes for better tubes in a jiffy..
