I'm rather incredulous that they built something which can run Java (they either have a Linux compatibility layer for it, or they built a JVM from scratch) and display HTML5. The skilled labour to do it they definitely have, it's time that I doubt they have. That being said, I've seen enough Chinese-made products to know that the Made in China meme doesn't do all of them justice. Some of the things they build are remarkable; they have very good people doing microelectronics, RF and high-speed digital designs.
