If the same factories are making the fakes, as the originals, why are they of higher quality?
The quality control is not the same.
That actually isn’t necessarily a mystery: as an OEM part it may be made to maximize the profit margin and that may, may I repeat, not “will”, result in the manufacturer being told to skimp is different ways.
But they may not do so on the equivalent parts they make to sell themselves.
Mr Ma is basically presenting the scenario where all OEM is substandard and at least a big chunk of “knock-offs” are not. “Exaggeration” is a word that comes to mind.
