While I can see the point that research from China is harder to verify in some cases, I think the statement "Papers coming out of China and Taiwan need to be regarded skeptically" goes a bit far. China has strengths in some fields, and even if research institutes in China are of lower average quality than their western counterparts, there remain some that are still of high quality. Are you forgetting that Hong Kong is part of China, and has research links to top universities in the Chinese mainland? Well Hong Kong provides the example of HKUST, a high-quality university which I would claim provides a leading example for research coming out of Asia.
