China is still a good place to order RC's, as long as you find a good lab/seller/reseller, they are certainly cheaper than EU RCs sellers.
But you need to avoid any clearnet scam sites. And it depends where are you ordering from, and of course if the seller is using a good stealth or not.
If you are unsure, just like you did try to ask here - but there are SO many clearnet sites that is hard to find others who bought there - or try to source in other ways, like on discord servers or checking rcsources on Dread (onion).
Good Luck
