In many cases, a high quality (and there are some) Taiwanese or Korean part can be better than a cheap british, european, american part in both fit and quality. Problem is, it's hard to tell, and quality control, while abyssimal in many american plants, is even worse in many asian plants. In the same batch of parts from a given supplier, you can get both parts that fit perfectly and those that require significant adjustment. Makes no never-mind WHAT country they come from.
Here is CAPA web page
There have been published tests of aftermarket auto body parts.
The results were not enouraging. The aftermarket parts fitted worse and rusted more easily. Aftermarket bumper parts didn't withstand bumps as well.
Look around for those modified cars with big wings and other aftermarket body parts mean to "look good". Chances are, many of those parts are poorly fitting. Now, if those parts meant to "look good" are poorly fitting, what does that say for parts meant only to be cheaper?
Huh?
What planet are you on?
"I want it, therefore it's their job" is a teenage moron's view of reality.
Planet Prejudice.
