This isn't a very strong argument.
The closest equivalent would be saying another Chinese brand says its designed in California but it is not Apple. Apple is a legal entity and California is a region.

E.g. there are wines from certain regions, but they do not have the geographic indication, as they have not been produced according to the regional standards.
And going with food it is even more important so, as it is close to impossible to reproduce the climate and terroir somewhere half around the world.
That doesn't mean, that it is worse, just that it is not the same.
Take Lambrusco as an example, they do have (or had?) a bad reputation and suffer for it. It's a good motivation for regional producers to keep each others in check.
