This is one of those devices where quality can matter. I buy a lot of my tinkering stuff from Aliexpress too, but it might be hard to find a non-clone device there. You might want to pay a little more and get one off a more reputable retailer which serves your country.
Alternatively, just buy both an FTDI and a pl2303 and pray one of them works each time! Even a clone/fake FTDI or pl2303 is going to be better than a real ch341 -- they are notoriously bad.
Here's one that looks good. Reviews say the chip is authentic, but I don't trust Aliexpress reviews at all.

It's not like these are very expensive. Buy two or three from different brands/factories and hope at least one works!
