I don't think this is a fair comment. Relative to both its population and its economic size, Chinese articles are over-represented in prestigious peer-reviewed journal publications (think Nature and Science).
Do some trash articles out of china find their way into journals? Yes. But if you think the US/EU doesn't put out some garbage as well, I can tell you're not in academia.
Is this specific paper worth anything? I don't know. But I do know it's entirely unfair to simply write off an entire country out of hand.
