Chinaman things is an absurd number of people bought something specifically because China Numbah Won and thereby the numbers are meaningless in relation to the quality. Especially with people using said numbers as indicative of it being both GOTY and "defeating the woke."

The Chinese are very nationalistic to a petty level. They will buy or attack things simply for appealing or not to them. Saying they even liked it despite buying it is equally likely to be false because they have such a history of behavior.
