Why don't you just give it a try on one rod? I've bought braid from China near 20 years ago instead of paying carp tax in the U. K, perfectly good. I've also bought some stuff from Temu, nippers, hook sharpeners, fingers, treble covers, ti braid blades, preston type rod grips etc, no complaints here

I bought braid from a Chinese seller on eBay, claimed to be spectra, , utter crap and cost me 4 fish when sea fishing in Australia. I'd never trust it again.

Not my experience but repeating some of the sea fishing guys chat on the ali express stuff... most of the branded stuff is counterfeit, but it's not actually bad line.
The main thing from tests is that the diameters aren't as stated, but the not strength etc is still decent.
Could always give it a go and report back

I'd be wary of fluro from china
I bought some a few years back & did the burn test to check it out - I think fluro is meant to burn & leave a black residue but the stuff I tried was a different color. I seem to remember the diameter & strength wasn't what it had stated on the listing & when I measured it out, it came out short too.

Temu seems to be about sorting the wheat from the chaff, I've got a great camo hoody, looks just like a fox, well made too. Only difference is it was 3 or 4 times kinder on my wallet (no carp tax)
