Thoughts on Chinese ATVs?

I've been paying more attention to ATVs lately, and I keep running into mixed opinions about the Chinese machines. For the longest time they had the cheap throwaway reputation, but it seems like they're not just turning out budget quads anymore but building engines for major OEMs and pushing their own ATV lines with a lot more quality behind them.

The question I keep asking myself is whether they're finally good enough to be taken seriously now, or if people still see them as a step behind the Japanese brands.
 
I've been using a 2022 Loncin LX250 for about a year, and it's done better than I thought it would. The quality is much better now, and it's easier to get parts. It's not as good as Honda or Yamaha, but for the price, it's a good choice especially if you're not riding on really rough trails all the time.
