Many of the Chinese binoculars have a plastic retainer ring that is screwed and GLUED to hold the objective lens in place.

It would help if you would list the models that you are describing. I'm certain they are the exception and not the rule. Of the 50-60 binoculars I've owned, I can count on one (maybe two) hand(s) those that have an adjustable objective lens cell.
