I am not sure if "dubious characters" is really correct. But
if you need ISO9000 or something like that, I think you will be
dealing with bigger companies which may not really be
interested in small build. And many companies will require
that the supplier need to have IS)9000 type of QMS.

In my previous job, none of the qualified PCB suppliers came
from China. It is not that there were no qualified vendors
from China but none of the qualified vendors wanted to deal
with the low quantity of the order and requirement of the boards.
