Injector nozzles from China: Your opinions, please

Lets say that hypothetically, someone was communicating with a Chinese manufacturer about producing injector nozzles for our beloved diesels. If the nozzles can be made to the same quality as the original Bosh part, and could be offered at a lower price than any Monark, Bosch, or Bosio nozzle, what would you think of them?

I know a lot of us have nozzles on the noggin. I know that I do. Given the possible lack of quality reported in Bosch nozzles from India, and the prices for any nozzle that's currently readily available to us OM616 and OM617 folks in general, I thought I'd pose this question.

Keep in mind that not everything Chinese is crap. They're fully capable of making high quality stuff these days. Just because Wal-Mart only imports low quality stuff doesn't mean that the Chinese don't make good stuff, too.

Edit: Please feel free to explain your choices, if you'd like. I'm very curious to know where the diesel folk stand on something like this.
