You might be lucky but you might not, there is some perfectly acceptable Chinese produced Titanium and there is some seriously suspect stuff. I had some CP2 sheet that welded horribly, I think it had some very weird contaminants my guess at the time was a few percent Zinc from the contamination I saw. I threw away all the bits I got from the vendor I got them from.

I read somewhere that some Chinese nuclear projects material specifications specifically prohibit indigenously produced Titanium and Inconel from being used in the construction though that could of course be urban myth.
