I have great faith in the chineese ability to copy any device at all, create a duplicate at a lower price then the origingal and sell that copy back at a fraction of the cost of the original. However, that said this is not equal amoung all chineese groups and depends a lot on which device the chineese have selected to copy. One of two things are going on here: either you have run into a group of chineese that are a bit more hamfisted then the average chineese hardware makers are or they are not hamfisted its just that they have selected an outdated model to copy.
If you would like to buy a chineese made device make sure you get one that is a copy of a current model. I have seen chineese copies of the Kindle and Kobo electronic readers. Both readers typically sell for $50 USD and are identical to their US versions. You also need to be creful of the importer, the company that was importing these devices to the US was not paid one cent until their customer: 1) recieved the product and 2) was satisfied that the device worked. The second is called exceptance testing and you should insist on it
