If this were the US, you'd be claiming this recklessness is what happens when you fire all the oversight at the FDA. Fortunately for China they have the luxury of killing people, pretending it never happened, and replacing them from it

Because there is nothing to be learned or gained from it. This isn't a Heath Kit from 1975. Electronics are fully integrated components now. You're paying for an experience. Typically DIY implies a cost-savings. It's like goi
