when i was working in technology research we had low trust on Chinese publications, they have to gain in quality more than quantity

It's still true now. China puts out far more trash than anything worth reading. Their universities still promote and reward researchers based upon number of papers published.

China is near the top nation for the number of published papers later being retracted.
