What evidence is there that these are Chinese made ?I have bought NOS Soviet military tubes from dealers in the Ukraine. You can be pretty sure they are the real thing and are accurately advertised. They tend to be cheap and reasonabke quality for the price.
For what it usworth the 'new' Thomson 6080s are Chinese made , sound OK fir the price but quality of manufacture is questionable.
I use an expensive Shuguang driver tube which is great and I have no problems with it.
I object to tubes like the Thomson being sold on ebay as something they are not. Often they are described in a vague manner-'newNOS' which in my book is deceptive.
One ends up wondering where one can find fairly described tubes that are truly what they are.
I have not seen a Chinese 6080 certainly 6as7g but not 6080
I would have thought that were they in current production there would be Chinese branded examples
