China bolts, what quality steel
Lots of kinds and grades of steel. China makes a lot of building construction steel. That's not motorcycle grade. Lots of info online; take care to find knowledgeable sources, not smoke-blowing sites. Buy aftermarket from high reputation suppliers, ask what company made it, ask country of manufacture, read the label, pay more, get a better bolt. "Cheap work ain't good, Good work ain't cheap" : True for your job and mine, steel, plastic, baby food, medicine, rope, suppositories, everything.
btw, anything you buy from China you're taking that work away from a worker here in the US or one of our Allies. Anything. Keep your brothers employed, and your sisters. Some of you guys work in steel; weigh in.

Japanese steel has an excellent reputation, so does German and Polish (maker of Sikorsky helicopters), Austria, American, and others, not China. But you're buying from a company, not a country.
