This is not always, or even often the case. As with the drywall of 2004-6, the imports started out with similar materials to the US drywall. The retail use of the drywall led to investigation which found that only a certain percentage of the drywall was contaminated. In this case, the suspect is high levels of fly-ash, and the fly-ash used was high in impurities. So, the mfg started out with a decent and comparable product, but once the mfg had the contract, and started delivering, they changed their materials spec, and that's when the problem happened.
In my case, I had a company which was going to injection mold a certain high use part for boats. It had to be very tough material, and I got some samples that lasted very well and held up for months of harsh use. When I ordered 600 of them, and they were sent to me, I had four taken at random from the case, and compared to the material chemistry of the first samples. All four showed inferior materials consistency, and casting flash was much worse, as well as the color and density, and porosity were all much worse than the sample. I rejected the whole lot, and sent them back. Never got my money back from the mfg, and they stopped communicating. They KNEW they sent me inferior junk that was not to the spec we contracted for, but expected me to just deal with it, and put in on the shelf for sale.
I suppose they can make good products, from quality materials and workmanship, but then every single part must be inspected and assayed. Where's the savings? What's the downside if they break the contract? They don't have to give your money back, so on to the next chump.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
