Gary, quite right, indeed any TV repairman should only need a multimeter if he's any good.
This is an obvious commercial 'plug' which at first I was simply gonna delete and ban the user. But I thought it better that he maybe got the views of what we thought of the crap he's peddling.
However, I do agree with the good Dr. in that a decade or so China may catch up on the quality and reliability front, but that is most definitely not today. OK, there maybe exceptions that prove the rule, but they are just that, exceptions.
If I pick something up when out shopping and it says "Made in China" on the underside I put it back on the shelf and walk away. There's only three things that matter to their marketing, price, price and price, nothing else. I can say this as I lived amongst them for six years in Hong Kong and that was the rule. Period.
