The key point of the article is: "China-based fraudsters", so 'bad china' (tm), and the rest of the content was just an excuse for that purpose..
This has been uncovered by Brother Zhang.... who obviously has, uh... an anti-China agenda.... 🙄

I don't think Zhang wrote the headline.
Sort of the dig with these stories. Universal problems get spun as Uniquely Bad Country problems and "Chinese engineer gives his fellow enthusiasts good advice" becomes "Don't trust hardware from Bad Country"
Americans are going to be so fucked when the only companies producing consumer hardware at scale at labeled "Bad China Companies".
I remember people hating Japan and Korea back in the '80s, before Sony and Samsung killed Magnavox and strangled Phillips.
I guess time is a flat circle
