It's really based on the source and vendor. I think that's what you should be asking ECS, on what basis or what are somethings they do to ensure quality control when they source their parts out to China.

On the other hand, Taiwan manufacturing is much more mature than China and I would have less of a problem with parts coming from Taiwan as being a quality part.

In the end, I think when you buy a budget part. Your expectations should match the amount of $ you put into it. It would be the best if ECS discloses all of these things upfront and not do pull any of this marketing jargon. However, if you haven't realized, the McDonald's burgers on the pictures look a lot better than the actual thing that goes into your stomach. It's really just marketing in the end. Sad, but true.
For sure, one of the most sensible answer I have had.
More a lack of complete information than a lack of quality.
