Bascially they use hardware from SSD manufacturers that has been deemed low quality / broken and thus is not used to make a SSD or another product out of it. So these cheap China companies use these bad flash chips to create SSDs and sell them for cheap. They're really bad though. Many dead on arrival. A lot dying quickly after little use. The speeds are horrible. The controllers on such SSDs are usually also total trash (which contributes to the overall negative expereince). It's about as trashy as it gets. There is a reason why the flash chips were deemed unfit/unsafe for productional use.

They are generally exporting their 'trash' to 3rd-world countries, where quality assurances are quasi non-existing, selling them there at unrealistically low prices.. to entice the gullible. BUT there must exist few reputable Chinese SSD brands!...

SSD devices, unlike HDDs, degrade faster especially when not used carefully : it's generally advised to always keep sufficient free space on SSDs to keep the Write Amplification Factor (WAF) as low as possible.

Don't know about the WAF?... Read this for more:
Do SSDs Degrade Over Time?

All new SSD's came here from china. however it is Samsung or Kingston or SanDisk. all are specially made with low quality for these countries due to low market prices. 
at the other side the system pulled SSD's are specially made for branded systems which shipped from UK / USA. and those SSD's passed many survival tests. and long live and gives you more better results on random sq test read write. after an years. even more better then a new one like Laxer, kingdian, Kingston, etc ..

However the speeds of course are more or less like SATA II. Still faster than HDDs in some / most cases though. It simply lacks the trust to be put into real productional use.
