Nope. Anyone can build iPhone quality devices in China. They will just cost as much as an iPhone.

What happpens is that there is a demand for cheap crap so that's what they design in China. If you were willing to pay Apple level prices for a Chinese brand they'd build you Apple level quality.

If you were willing to pay Apple-level prices for a Chinese brand, provide significant oversight at every step of the process, and constantly quality check every batch delivered, then you might get Apple-level quality.

What do you think Apple does to get that level of quality? :)

It's simple. It costs.
