Fake Brembo blanks?

I bought two Brembo blanks online online but when it arrived, it says "Made in China" on the box. The Made in China is also inscripted onto the rotor but when does Brembo manufacture its stuff in China? Is this the real deal? Should I be worry and return it?

Brembo does mfg. in China. Should be up to the same mfg. standards and fall under the same Brembo Warranty. I wouldn't worry, put them on the car and be done with it.

My .02 - They are not worth the $$$. Best rotors I've had so far on my 99 cost me $29 bucks at my local auto parts store. Tossing them in the garbage when I change my pads doesn't hurt much. LOL

I got a set off ebay. They have the Brembo "b" stamped in the casting. No "made in china". Here's a pic of the rotor and packaging.
