All of the china marble and granite i have seen is clearly marked as
"Indoor
use only". It is low grade and not likely to survive a few freeze thaw
cycles.

How would mother nature know to make inferior rocks in China and superior
rocks everywhere else?

On top of that... I have to wonder how the hell a ROCK can be "indoor use
only".

OTOH, there is one plausible answer to your question: rocks are the same
everywhere, but defects may be less likely to be discarded (i.e. more likely
to be brought to market) under the Communist economic model (which has been
shown in the past to have far less stringent quality standards than the
capitalist model).
