I'm still waiting for decent chinese hydro brakes and a derailleur with an actual clutch. :-\
Icyseanfitz:
I think there are a few 12sp derailleurs with clutches the last time looked, maybe the sensah stuff? I've a Chinese 12sp drivetrain (can't exactly remember what) on my hardtail for the last year and it really isn't bad.
As for brakes I'm going to try a set these ztto 4 pots to see if there any good

Most chinese carbon and aluminium parts are fine, but most of their mechanical stuff is lowest end big brand stuff at a lower price point at best imo.
Icyseanfitz:
After taking a chance on a bolany boost 100mm fork for an xc build (no jumps or drops) as it's weight is quite impressive (1800g or so), for just under 130euro. Most likely pure shit but it's worth a shot on a bike that will only be used for longer less demanding rides.
First thing I'll do though is dismantle it and grease the inners (I'd assume no point putting oil in the lowers as it won't hold
