80% of panels are made in China, if they were all so terrible I doubt they would dominate the market so much

Plenty of markets are dominated by the less-durable product offered at a lower up-front cost.

They all come with ~30 years warranty, I think you're stuck in the 1970s when it comes to Chines manufacturing capabilities, the top of the line chinese factories are just as good as EU/US ones, probably even more high tech

Probably not, having done contract manufacturing in China quite recently. Asking for a source isn't the same as disputing an assertion.

This is my guess. I like to substantiate my guesses.
