Don't hold your breath for good quality cheap Made in China batteries. I have few Chinese made batteries such as drill, flash light, radio etc but none of them are good, just a crappy, last few charges batteries. I won't use it for ebikes. They are just wasting a resource by make something don't last and make you to waste your money. I suspect the news is just a communist propaganda. Just like the Chairman Mao's. High quality, high capacity batteries are command high price all the time, IMHO.
just to clarify , because in what contest people use "made in China" therm where they throw all in one bag mixing and generelazing .
There are two THINGS
Made in China Chinese brand which has nothing to do with Wwestern brand which is often sweat shop with disregard for Healt and Safety.
Our Justin went there and saw how those hub are made in horrible conditions.
AND
there is made in China Western company product where all production facilites had been moved to China with identical robots and stuff like for example in Japan, only floor workers beeing Chinese.
Example SONY camera model such and such made in Japan SONY factory is supposed to be identical to the same model made in China SONY factory and for sure it is identical.
SO there are 2 differnt "animals" if it comes to "made in China".
So for quality it is important if it is brand name, not where it was made.
