if the glass is nearly as good and the ruggedness is better.....doesnt someone make scopes you can use as a hammer without killing them??? again who is looser???
once upon a time folks bagged Japanese built items.....then they were considered up there with the best quality wise...now some of the brands once considered reliable are chinese /korean made and quality is dropping.....one of these days we will get a 1.5-12x scope with good glass that wont die and hunters will be happy...BUT manufacturers wont sell many as it wont die so last a lifetime.

Trouble is though, there is now a pervasive mindset within China that if you cheat someone for a profit, so long as they remain naive, you were the smart one who came out good.

The Chinese people love Donald Trump to bits, I thought his mindset was very Cantonese (openly fleece everyone you can,but deny all wrongdoing).

Unlike the Japanese there is no 'fall on your sword and rip your own guts out before dishonour' mentality left among the Chinese.

In the 70's and 80's many of the successful bushiness people in China got their start by being absolutely ruthless to their fellow countrymen and women (basically wage slavery) and are no enjoying their big houses overseas with Swiss bank accounts and Western University educated children. There is no real religion left in China as it has been replaced by success and money.

If they are making a commercial product and can cut corners to make a cost saving, it will be done unless the customer specs prevent it.

There is a reason why 'Chinesium' is a recognised term! The stuff tends to be passed off as metal/aluminium and is used in everything from scope mounts to car wheels/rims!

Many firms operating in China employ Western looking people who can secretly speak Mandarin + dialects in order to pick up on if there is any dodgy stuff going on behind the scenes.

Scandals such as recycling old/waste oil and using it for cooking, the melamine in milk, etc. all massive cons.

Does not help when SARS,Bird and Swine Flu and now CV19 have come out of China too!

And this a rant is coming from someone who is partly of Chinese ethnicity
