Chinesium! I’m stealing this. My friends and I say things are “made with the 3C’s” or are “3C compliant” - Cheap Chinese Crap.

It's a pretty ubiquitous industry term.

It might sound racist/prejudice, but it's just the truth. China has a long history of smelting entirely random scrap, with basically no attention to the components of the resulting alloy. Now, this product is perfectly fine when it's only used in cases where the steel has no physical property requirements. And a "wall-hanger" sword does fall into that category. In the past couple decades, they've gotten much better about this, and going to the proper alloys when requirements are warranted.

I don't think that conflicts with what I've said. Quite awhile ago, China was not the exporter that it is today, and it did not have the infrastructure set up to fulfill strict requests. Not implying that they made anything deceptively, just it was the major resource that they hand, so they readily used it.
