There are plenty of decent parts made in China, no reason to buy or not on label of origin.
Parts quality is a moving target with time constants of a few years, a brand part from 2017bcaj easily be junk now

All true facts (above) but also there were recent report(s) by trusted member(s) in this forum of quality issues with Lemforder suspension parts that surprised me, pretty sure it was P2 control arms because I had just bought them. Oragex or Pete or someone ...
The bottom line is it's a moving target and you're spot on to ask.

All companies are changing continuously. The Lemforder strut mount bearing is bad, their individually sold control arm bushings are bad, their tie rods, end link and ball joints may stlil be good. Rule of thumb: if it's cheap is bad
