It's like a challenge to the western made goods.  If it is a western made good like made in Germany, USA, Italy, Canada etc. then it is valued to being something like a knight in shining armor.  It's high quality durable steel and made to last and has a company's guarantee to function for life with a lifetime's worth of repairs or replacement parts. 

But China doesn't care.  China doesn't care about knights.  China is like Genghis Khan and the Yuan dynasty.  It destroyed the western knight's superior quality in strength and craftsmanship in armor and sword.
