Linhai is owned by Yamaha! As to what metals? Well as Ford, Chevy, Dodge et al even the big German car makers all use metal from China I think your off on that one. Also Japan has no steel industry NONE! They have used China sourced steel for many years and yet now you claim they some how are getting a better grade of China steel? Every bearing in a Honda is made in china, Polaris and just about every other maker uses them. The front struts and castings on all Kawasaki and Polaris quads are made in china yet I guess you will next say they use better materials? The Yamaha Badger 80, Honda 90 and Suzuki LT80 are all outsourced for the most part. Honda and Yamaha put them togther but the motors and frames are all from Tawain, Korea and China.
