It's not a matter of whether the products are bad or not. It's a matter of being able to trust the reviews. I've purchased from one of these brands and received a little card along with it requesting a 5 star review in exchange for a $5 coupon. This totally distorts the reviews.

Ordered 2 separate products from 2 separate Chinese (Amazon only) brands: https://imgur.com/a/E8YCMBr

Amazon dont do anything when this is reported and block your review when you mention it. Some product manager/C level exec is putting short term profits over long term trust in the system.

It's now got to the point where EU needs to legislate and punish this behaviour and those who enable it or fail to action it.
