I don't think we are actually in disagreement - I do think that Chinese violins coming out of the better shops are fantastic; I have a Jay Haide that is a wonderful instrument, and if you read some of my other posts, you will see that I recommend Chinese instruments quite highly.
However, the majority of Chinese instruments being produced for the mass market are still pretty bad - I'm talking about the sort you'd see at stores like Sam Ash, or at numerous online retailers (purple violins on Amazon, for instance).
Of course you wouldn't see instruments of this level at any legitimate violin shop or on one of the better instrument retail websites like Shar Music or Johnson String, but these VSOs (violin-shaped-objects) are still to be found almost everywhere, often for sale at smaller "music stores" or music studios that honestly don't know they're doing a disservice to their customers by selling them cheaply made crap.
I must have this violin. It is pretty, I used to play as a kid and I want to start it again! :)
I got my username from work. Instead of being called Danielle I was called yellsie, which turned into yels. I thought it was cute and it just stuck :)
