Before retiring, I worked for a couple companies that used Taiwan for some of their production. Quality control was very good as they allowed inspectors into their country to check quality before parts left the country. China itself produces faster but less quality control and your only inspection is when their products come into the US. Taiwan has a much higher approval/ quality control, than China themselves. The quality control folks always spoke highly about Taiwan quality. I have a side x side UTV made in Taiwan and the quality has been excellent, even after 10 years.
