Good luck finding a bearing not made in China, Timken how do you know? The Chinese CAN make good quality anything. The people who order and import choose. FYI are you aware either complete or parts of MRI machines are made in China whatever the supplier wants to pay. A old line US company no less.
Since my Timken bearings have USA etched right on them, my guess is they are not made in a country noted for making cheap junk. After inspecting and measuring dimensions and angles on the junk bearings, I decided to go with a proven brand.

With poor quality Chinese bearings, poor service and marginal axles, I wonder what you attribute the failure.

I carry a set of bearings and a new drum dry for emergencies. In my 37+ years of towing a TT with over 150K+ total miles the only trailer running gear problems I have had are two broken springs on my 1981 Prowler.

That would be one way to insure a bearing would never fail. If you have one you will never need it.
