>I never visited China & the manufacturing went perfect.

it's about the type of manufacturing that these groups are used for.

My father took his bicycle part manufacturing to China in the early 90s and had his IP and design-work ripped off and duplicated to the point of making his formerly successful business largely insolvent -- this taught him the value of keeping the assembly and finishing work in-house, but unfortunately that lesson came too late for his ventures.

Same story with an exercise equipment MFG that I did design work for more recently. The joke at the table was "OK, we can get the bulk manufactured for X in (Chinese province)... but how long until we see these for sale on Taobao?"
