None of the Warns are made in China, unless that is new in the last few months. Only Warn of that list use electro magnet motors, all the rest are PMM once again I'd be shocked if Ramsey (the slowest of slow) used an emm that would be new.

Here is the bottom line, buy a light duty cheapo winch and when that day arrives that you really need it and you get whack yourself in the head and say "I should bought a Warn".

Any 8k+ winch no matter where it is made will most likley "work", however...how many pulls, how long before it self destructs, if it will get slower and weaker over time, will it be fast enough to pull up slack while driving and winching at the same time (98% of all winching is like that).
These are questions only answered by the purchase of a Warn. Because when out wheeling YOU will be confident!

You should expect 10-20 years+ of like new performance from a Warn.
