I think a lot of it has to do with expectations.  I had low expectations, that were exceeded.  Had I bought a frame from a name manufacturer in this country then I would expect an awful lot more, as I would have paid a lot more with the expectation of greater come-back should something go wrong.

PX will do you a carbon frame for £250  ;)

I did look at them at the time I bought the frame and their cheapest frames started at £500, prices have fallen a lot in the last year.

I paid about £350 all in for the HongFu frame.  There would not be the same economic argument to buy from China now.
