I've (stupidly, hands up) bought several Chinese-made things from ebay recently. They have all been utter shite and completely unusable. We should nuke the scamming bar stewards.
The Canary Islands import the stuff by the containerload. Usual product lifespan 10 days...the average holidaymakers' stay, before morphing into complete junk. But this compares well, in terms of utter uselessness and money-wasting, with our UK police service.
“tell this garment quality to the workman of the wash” on an item of clothing of mine was one of my favourites. Also the requirement in the manual for the washing machine in the first flat I rented to “discriminate” the washing before putting it in.
