It is true today with Chinese boats as it was 30 years ago with Taiwan built boats..

It is all about quality control of the yard.

If one spends time crawling around the bilge of a Nordhavn the build quality is apparent.. they make the boat proper even in the areas where the average person never looks.

Just because you can cover a shoddy weld with filler and it looks good (for the time being) doesn't make it right or good.

That "weld" invites crevice corrosion.

Most of the time.. in boats you get what you pay for.
