Yes I believe that too. There are Chinese made and Taiwanese made. You want to buy one made in Taiwan. The Chinese ones are the duraflex (poly carbonate with fiberglass mix) and those suck.

And just for the record everyone, there are parts of our precious BMWs made in a lot of other countries. Not exclusive to Germany. I remember visiting a factory in Shenzhen and walking into the conference room to find a ton of Mercedes buttons and emblems. Turns out that factory made them for MB.
