Parts from china can be OEM quality or they can be utter crap.
It's part specific, not country specific.
Even parts 'made in germany' can be largely made in china as just the last stage of the fabrication process can be done in germany, like mounting a chinese made rubber bushing in a chinese made track rod arm.
