I know for a fact that these plumbing fixtures are crap. the other day
went
to a big box and bought 2 angle valves for washing machine shutoffs. 1/2
copper and threaded lock nut. The Chinese crap would not even thread on to
the existing nut. Went to the local hardware store and bought made in USA
angle valves and threaded on with no problem. CHINA MAKES CRAP!!!!!
PERIOD!!

You've got it wrong -- what actually happened was -- You BOUGHT crap, which
happened to be made in China. Made, by the way, to some importer's spec,
and to the importer's q.c. requirements. So look to yourself as a lousy
shopper, and if you must lay additional blame, try the place where you
bought the cheap stuff instead of being more discriminating.
