There's nothing wrong with the Chinese stuff *EXCEPT* it's made in China. Notorious for stolen technology, questionable materials, workmanship, and general quality. Unless you are buying from a local company that WILL absolutely back and service the product, I'd avoid it like the plague...
Where it's made has nothing to do with it. China can pump out high quality stuff. Most of the LED fixtures sold by the big names are made there too. And for that matter most of the electronics we buy are made there, most of which are of excellent quality. The problem is in the lack of quality control that can happen when factories stop making product for the big names and start making it to sell themselves.
