Chinese trailers

I guess I shouldn't be surprised but I felt really let down today when I found out that the BG range of trailers from Fremantle trailers are imported from China. Well, pretty much all of the trailer is fully imported apart from the hubs and bearings apparently.
Does this automatically mean that the galvanizing will be of a poor quality?

I just recently sold my trailcraft that was sitting on a bg trailer, it was ok but I found the Galv would chip off very easily. And in some areas looked like it was painted on! I must admit from what I had the Chinese build better trailers than boats!!!!
