Get your information together before you speculate wildly.
MI (Musical Instrument) manufacture is the Orient; i.e. Taiwan, Japan, Korea, Indonesia, Vietnam, China operates in a deisgner/client to contractor relationship.
Hoshino, owns various labels such as Ibanez and contracted Fuji Gen Gakki to maufacture Ibanez guitars. Fuji Gen Gakki also manufactured Fender Japan in the 80s. Some of these manufacturers release their own brands. E.g. Shiro Arai, then owner of Matsumoku, released Aria, Aria Pro II, Shiro etc.... and was contracted to manufacture Morris, Westone, Hondo etc etc etc. The main exception to this practice is Yamaha which manufactures largely its own stuff in Japan but sub contracts in Indonesia and Taiwan. Terada in Japan manufactured much of the Gretsch reissues you see today. Moraidara manufactures most of the acoustic guitars that come out of japan.
Young Chang is the largest contractor in Korea and makes parts, guitars, guitar parts, pianos etc. They make stuff for and from Samick to Fenix and several other makes I won't mention here.There are are also various other contractors in Korea.
The quality varies as there are several grades of target markets, and the individual client/designers may have different QC specifications.
Grow up and get educated before making wild speculations.There is some public level information available in Michael Wright's varaious books, and also Paul Day's books.
