Default Brake Master Cylinder Problems

This all started when I had to replace the original master cylinder and brake booster because the original master cylinder rear seal leaked and damaged the booster. Since then I have replace the master cylinder 7 times and need another. They are either AC Delco or Centric. 5 made by AC Delco and 2 made by Centric. All; are manufactured in China. They work for 4-6 weeks then the pedals starts slowly going to the floor. in the reservoir you can see black bits of rubber from the seals. I have completely flushed the system with new DOT 3 or 4 or 5.1 fluid and have replaced the hoses to the calipers. I would really like to get something not made in China, but ALL the sellers have their stuff made there now, probably all in the same factory.
