You are quite right Moddit, and I can confirm that my success rate with Chinese PC products has been consistently high.
I recently built 2 top-end PCs entirely from new or refurb components sourced from China via AliExpress, and apart from this card have had only one case of non-delivery and reimbursement was immediate once they recieved my notification.
I consider the components I bought to be the best value and performance for money available in the marketplace. I shall hang onto this card and try it out in new circumstances when I have a suitable mainboard and PC available, as I feel sure it actually can be made to work. The reason I did not remove the cover was to ensure its returnability, but the time is now past so I may now have a look inside.
Without the Chinese manufacturing and supply capabilities the PC and telecomms world would be in a sorry state.
