Well, there are two factors for the dislike of Chinese products.
First, they are good at copying, yet not good with materials science. I'm sure there are many on this forum who have had the displeasure of dealing with some problem twice because of a failure of some Chinese copy. This is not limited to Porsches. There are many in a BMW forum I use where the same situation occurs, compounded by some German manufacturers sourcing items from China they previously produced themselves, and having it fall apart. This is particularly true of suspension components.
The other problem is philosophical. Why would one support those trying to kill or dominate you?
I have no problem at all paying a little more for something made nearly anywhere else.
