Hello,
You are right, some Asian metals are not top-drawer. On the other hand, some are, But unless you know someone that you trust, who in turn knows and trusts others, and so on down the line, it is a crapshoot. But why buy Asian at all? Cost? If so, for whatever reason, your chances of getting good stuff are much better in this country. Think of it as paying a premium for quality.
Fair leads,
