I also have my quartz counter top from Lian Hin. I believe my contractor did mention it is the material is from China but it's as durable as those that claimed to be be made from Europe.
Reason being that at the end of the day how durable a item/material is depends on the user.
So many people want to buy quartz that are made in Europe but how can you be 100% sure that yours is? Cost wise, it would cost 30-40% more for same material but if it's made in
Europe as one has to factor in the import tax, shipment cost etc.

I was told that the China and Israeli quartz differences is in the certifications. E.g. Caesarstone has sent their products for lab
test to show their chemical composition does no pose a threat to humans but the China ones being cheaper does not have.
The other one I was told to test is the weight of each similar sized quartz. One which is denser is also heavier, the other is slightly lighter.
