Are carbon wheels sourced from Chinese factories in anyway imferior to let's say Taiwan and therefore more buyer beware?

This could be a can of worms... The general consensus is that Taiwanese rims are better than Chinese... Gigantex is based in Taiwan. However, You will find people perfectly happy with Chinese rims and others who are ready to have a go at Taiwanese rims too... Much of the perceived quality is down to. The use and among the buyers of these, some never really use them much.
I see a lot of these carbon wheels sold after 1000 miles or less and just as many glowing reviews, often from the same people... My answer is I don't know, I have never handled Chinese Rimsleft the forum March 20230 -
I would say they would be similar on a like for like basis as the days of Chinese build issues seem to be behind us, well in reference to higher end items at least.
Its just a shame that british manufacturing has troubles competing these days.Living MY dream.0
