Not really as China now produce some very fine mechanical movements. And many of todays Tourbillons are made in China that are put into many high end watches.I have a special regard for the Seagull ST19 manual wind chronograph.It was running plus 7 seconds a day out of the box,with a bit of fine regulation now well inside the COSC spec.And 6 years later still running fine and keeping excellent time cost of movement less than $60.So China today makes some very mediocre products and some excellent products much like anywhere else in this world today.
