Also, Aliexpress is not a distributor, it's a marketplace backed by one of the largest companies in the world. Different seller may offer different product. China ≠ bad or fake product, it just often means there is less consumer protection in place to prevent you from receiving a bad product.

Fair enough. I guess it comes down to buyer beware.
