Chinese Stuff? Not In This Lifetime.

Whether someone buys Chinese PCPs or not, they’ve pushed the entire industry forward. AEA, Huben, JTS, and Snowpeak closed the performance gap and forced the big brands to improve. They also made PCPs affordable for people who don’t have $1,000+ to spend. Competition is good for everyone.
Exactly. They can and do make guns that will hold their own against more expensive brands and I can afford them. If you can afford better, I don't hate you. I'll just keep shooting what I can afford.

Nailed it. One side of the industry keeps the other side in check. (Price vs features vs quality/feel of product, and finally quality control)
Lets use AirForce as an example: Imagine a world with only AirForce pcps in it...
-What might a Condor cost nowadays with no competition?
-Would the 50cal TexRex exist? (Thank you AEA)
-Would AF FINALLLY be putting AK grips, and PIC rails on their guns?
Would they be offering slug barrels now?
With no competition prices often soar, innovation stagnates, and quality of workmanship can easily go down as there is only one option on the market. As long as its not a direct copy, there is after-sales support, and the equipment is safe to the end user, im all for it.
I'd hate to see airgunning become a rich person only hobby.
