Actually, I do know what its like. I manufacture ceramics in China. I have spent many months working with factories getting our product to what they call "A" grade. You would be surprised (at least with our factories) at how clean and organized they can be. The workers make far more than you realize and are housed, fed (3 times a day) and clothed. It is up to the individual factory to have proper QC and the workers only do as they are instructed by the owners. For example, we once had a small flaw in a prototype that ended up being repeated 30,000 times before it was caught. You can get very good quality from China with the proper factory.
