Thoughts on "Made in China"

I disagree that there isn’t a difference in quality. In order to have a metal yoyo with a retail price of $40 means that something somewhere was sacrificed. Magic doesn’t exist yet so some corner or corners were cut. Could be cheap/exploited labor. Could be cheaper materials. Could be what level of tolerance is being held. Could be other things. Just be aware you aren’t getting something for nothing. Does this result in yoyos that play different? Generally not and that’s the sentiment I…

I will say that there are Chinese manufacturers that have worked at length to reduce the problems that david outlines. FPM, Yoyoempire, and TopYo are all quite good now, and with solid QC on the brands end (the main reason people complain about Chinese products, poor QC), I’m very happy with the state of yoyos from China.
