Uh, why would they be paying particular attention to a niche manufacturer like Hsu? I find it far more likely they did a little research on the internet, or hired some experienced engineers (possibly from Hsu, likely from some other company).
A country of a billion people likely has a few audio experts of their own lying around. After all, these are the people that eclipsed the Western world in technical prowess up until the 1800s, most likely. Now, I don't approve of their government or their robber baron economy, but don't discount their abilities.
Oh wait, you were joking again.
