That's a bit broadly stated. Building cast blocks is not that difficult, it's old and established technology. The key is to set the correct specification and hold the manufacturer to a high level of quality control. It doesn't take many rejected parts to get the manufacturer's attention. He does not want rework or rejected parts coming back to him. China can build quality blocks, the key is the quality control and inspection required by the vendor that ordered them.
