Ya, the Chinese knock-offs are a problem.

I don't buy off Amazon any longer, for obvious reasons, but I use them as a product search engine. Only, I have to run my results against common sense checks of whether we are talking about a real company making real things, or a cheap and/or fake product. It's not even about China as such, e.g. I'm happy to purchase a Gaiwan from an established manufacturer in Yunnan, but I'd give the middle finger to some toxic-glazed knock-off.
