I have heard that statement (minus the Chinese part) for 50 years. That these bikes are built for short Japanese riders that weigh 150 pounds. This is nothing new. Dont believe the statement to be true, but it's nothing we haven't heard for decades.
Unfortunately it's hard to design/build bikes that fit 5'5" guys like me, and 6'4" guys like Longranger or Rboe, and guys that weigh 130 and guys that weigh 250. That's how the aftermarket got its start, making bike built for the middle, to fit guys on the opposing ends of the height/ weight spectrum.
