Or, as one company I worked for found, the factory ran extra shifts off the books, with the production results also off the books.

We use Moog and TRW suspension and driveline components on many customer cars as well as our own, and have done for decades; and Moog ang TRW have been making a lot of their stuff in China for decades.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hate to break the news but bosch has been making a majority of their automotive parts in China for over a decade.
The good news is that the difference between"OEM" Chinese and knockoff Chinese products is that the OEM mfg services are directly supervised (supposedly) by the corporate quality guys, obviously the knockoff factories aren't.

For some reason, it really tickles me that people searching for parts on their Chinese made smart phone, or Chinese made computer are concerned about if the parts are made in China.
We use Moog and TRW suspension and driveline components on many customer cars as well as our own, and have done for decades; and Moog ang TRW have been making a lot of their stuff in China for decades. It ain't
where
it's made, it's
how
it's made; to what material and tolerance specs.
Fred (Nine8Six) doesn't come around here any longer, but those of us who remember him learned that nicely made parts could come from China. Not just the things he made for us on the side, he was involved with the manufacture of all kinds of automotive and motorcycle parts and accessories. If things are knockoffs or made to a low price point, they're bad, and if they're made to exacting standards, they're good, regardless of where they come from. If Porsche is selling factory parts made in China, I'm sure they are more than fine.
Unrelated to anything Porsche, but I used to swear by Moog parts. Recently though, I've been getting sub-par parts from Moog. I've had 2 wheel hubs go bad in less than 6000 miles. And the sway bar links I got from them are poorly machined. Moog has gone seriously downhill in a very short time. But that's just my perspective.
Just about every parts supplier screws up from time to time, but we haven't seen any major issues to date. In fact today, we just got in lower control arms, sway bar drop links, upper strut bearings, strut boots, and bumpers for a single Asian make vehicle, all from Moog, and everything was as expected, fit well and got the front suspension refit done and out the door.
