Yes, that's probably a problem.
But I think, if something is really made good, we should pay respect to their work.
I have the impression, that somebody from America or Europe developed that thing and organised the chinese production because the material is there and off course the production is cheaper.
I looked later a bit around at the side and have seen, that TBS itself calls it a Toaks product.
I simply didn't know, that it exists in stainless steel too.
In my impression this perfectly constructed and produced pots are the result of an international partnership, like the guy I know who makes the Tschum tents looked for a chinese partner for his lightweight versions SilHexpeak V4a.
That silnylon tents aren't stolen from him, no, that is a result of a really well working partnership.
The german designer can't sell a relatively expensive and heavy german custom made high quality cotton tent to everybody who wants to go out camping in the summer. And on top of it he doesn't like sewing silnylon himself and hasn't the money to found a bigger manufacture.
So he makes both: Sewing in Germany himself and cooperating with China.
The only problem I see is that most designers stopped thinking about how to make things in Europe.
As I see, European outdoor products can be sold, and if I compare the qualities, they aren't expensive in my opinion.
For example that Austrian made stuff here:
