Default Brembo blanks are now made in China - alternatives?

I've been happy with the made in Mexico Brembo blanks for years. I have a rear pair leftover, and bought 2 new ones for the front that were Chinese. They were both in bags and saturated with that disgusting smelling Chinese grease. Maybe I'm imagining things, but they don't seem as nice as the old ones, at least compared to the rears I have.

I'd rather not have Chinese rotors, if possible. Are there any decent stock choices made anywhere but China?

If anyone else cares, EBC manufactures their rotors in the UK and US. I'll be buying these next time.

I realize it's impossible to completely stop buying things made in China, but as long as there's a choice, I'll take my business elsewhere. Some OEM Honda parts are now Chinese? That's a shame.

Most products are now mostly make in China, and these peoples who work at the factory get very low paid to assembly and make parts to import other country. I felt very bad about because most stuff that make in China are cheap quality. The parts i brought at HOnda dealer are made in "japan" and not China. If i found a parts at the dealer that made from China I'm sending it back, don't bother to ask me because i know what like buying cheap things that break..
