Alot of junk is "Made in China" Mostly found at the dollar store and Walmart. Is this China's fault, no. It's the consumer who buys it. You buy, they make.

Four dollar Christmas toys and bearings are not in the same catagory. They only thing they share is the country they are assembled in.

As for the bearings. I work on high speed lamp making equipment. This stuff is running 24 hours, 6 days a week. 90% of the bearings we use are McGard, Made in China. Some of the machine is cooled by AC, some of it is 900deg F. These bearings never fail.
