Yep it not crap when linked to large companies like Sony or Panasonic etc. It's a cheap labour country. It's the only resource it's got is the labour force, the rest is bought in. But look on fleabay Chinese knockoffs are crap and it doesn't include just tattoo machines, from fake fags (cigarettes) to baby buggies to whiskey. It's generally and mostly dangerous goods made cheap and follows no regs.
