I can't speak for the GP, but one might make a reasonable distinction between the reliability of findings that come out of Argentina as they compare to those from China.

Edit: Someone doesn't appreciate this comment. Astute professional analysts the world over know that official figures that come out of China are among the least reliable on the planet.

And while scientific misconduct is not unheard of anywhere, China's hardly a shining example in that regard.

Lastly, good Chinese research agencies themselves are having a difficult time keeping up with numerous bad actors who are doing their best to fraudulently publish papers.

This isn't xenophobia, it's a fair appraisal of the sometimes inconsistent qualities of the world's societies.
