I rebuild many early transmissions, mostly the open driveline version. It's common for the front bearing snap ring to be too wide. While I'm not a big fan of Chinese made parts either. You will find the same situation from other sources as well. That bearing is common to many applications. I just use the old one or one from my collection and move on.
