I know for a fact that the GFB pulleys are made in Australia. So your assumption of them being the same is incorrect.
What is more likely, is that someone sent a set of GFB pulleys to China to be copied.
It would be interesting to see how they actually balance up. They could be fine. At the very least, I'd be checking that they're balanced, before assuming they are and bolting them to my crank.
FYI People buy branded items as you are in effect buying something that a company is prepared to stand behind. For example, I personally would not check whether some pulleys from Toda Racing are balanced, as I trust the brand. That's not to say that anything branded means its good; your comment about things often being made in the same factory then having a logo inserted is actually accurate with many things. However, that isn't the case here.
