What will you gain with cheap stuff?

Didnt work for you when you said that about Japanese manufactured goods or Korean manufactured goods or Taiwanese manufactured goods, so why are you so adamant that you will be correct this time?

You are in the end the loser.

Nah, the loser is he who buys the product thinking its better because
A) it was sold in a shop by his fellow countrymen and
B) it cost more, so it must be better, right?
not realising that
C) it was made in China under license and
D) you were just ripped off by the reseller's exorbitant mark-up.

Strawman.

The OP was looking to buy a Deutz diesel made under license
That makes it a Deutz diesel.

A straw man is a component of an argument and is an informal fallacy based on misrepresentation of an opponent's position.[1] To "attack a straw man" is to create the illusion of having refuted a proposition by replacing it with a superficially similar yet unequivalent proposition (the "straw man"), and refuting it, without ever having actually refuted the original position
Straw man - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

and it makes it a German product made in china

Doesn't matter, it's still a Deutz diesel

My Cummins diesels are a Komatsu based engines made in Japan, but they are still a Cummins Diesel.

And I am sure I saw in a catalogue once that a deutz engine I was comparing was a Hyundai based engine.

Which is what exactly?

It is without any doubt that China has taken over all production of parts and completed products of the former western world.
The crossbreeding of engine-manufacturers is widespread and it is nowadays very difficult to establish who made what.

However, it is quality control and the final touch that will decide the standard of the product. Sublicensing is unstoppable and that will not take away the fact that I can get any service on any big brand's product.

I have a small Chinese made genset to drive the flash-heads I use for my sparse outside photography. It takes ages and some tricks to get it running. I will dismantle the twostroke and replace it for another powersource to drive the dynamo.
Another issue is the environmental requirements. But if I buy MAN, MTU, Cat, I am pretty sure that I can service it, get guarantee on it and last but not least can get it insured.
Many service-centers in Holland refuse to repair China made engines. Or service them.

yes, some of the no name yum cha stuff is crap and built to a price point, I never denied that.

But if it was a Chinese made Deutz, BMW, Ford etc etc they would have no option BUT to service them because they are what they are, a big name product with the name and warranty that goes with it.

BMW' s production facilities for the engines are divided between GB and Austria (Steyr-Werke) In GB is the production facility of the 4 cylinders, in Austria the remaining engines and for the F1 and M-serie they have a separate facility.
No nothing comes here from China. There are assembly plants over the world in countries with a high degree of importrestrictions.

Deutz has indeed a large unit in China, the so called Wei-Chai factory who produces all HD engines under German control. They have an ISO-9000 qualification and for sure they produce no crap. This is a joint venture between Deutz and Wei-Chai.

Well, if the OP hasn't got bored and gone away, this para is just the kind of facts he wanted to find...

Even the Australian car, Holden, is almost made entirely of foriegn parts...ie. Korea and China. Not to mention the imported materials for their buildings.

...Actually, that would only work if it was not Chinese chain. In the late 70's a friend pulled up his "such a deal" China chain, only to find a link weld had broken and the tension on the chain was the only thing preventing it from parting.

I still maintan that they make junk.and someone has already made an analogy about quilty control,cant prove it but I would bet that there are German engineers working at the Duetz plant in China and that the last man to inspect for Quilty control is German...And I still have not been informed of any indigonus chinese products that the whole world is familar with...there arent any and the Chinese admit it..REF:China Daily newspaper...I read it everyday,they are more into talking about their military prowess these days but back a few months it was all about their brand recognition and the five year plan to impliment it around the world....If you ask anyone that knows about guitars and ask which Fender Strat they would rather have it starts with a US made then Japan,Mexico,Korea,Indonesia,then China Last and Least..this is what they get for excluding themselves from the world order for 40 yrs. .....DVC Ps. The world is trying to give them the oppurtunity to come into the world market as a true world player and not just the go to place for cheap labor but they resist by fixing their currancy and abusing human rights and say they will only get inline when they have a part in making the rules instead of being told what the rules are and having to obey those rules..a thinking man can see where this is going to lead if things dont change..those Marines arent being sent to Australia for fun and games...least there not Chinese Marines
