I bought a set of oversize rads for my XR650r. Although they were bought in Europe I am pretty certain that they were made in China - the ?50 for the pair price is a bit of a clue.
I had them on the bike for over 2 years and at least 10k miles without any issues. In that time the bike was dropped, slid down the track and turned upside down more times than I care to remember; I know because the XR is a pig to restart after it has been on its side. This also included a 3000 mile round trip over 10 days which included 1000 miles of FIM rally-raid.
Maybe i got lucky, but not everything that comes from China is rubbish. A few decades ago people used to sneer at Japanese bikes and look what happened there.
