Yeemiau,
I find your statement quite offending and biased towards the Chinese breeders. Although no doubt they are business oriented because they are a business entity compared to your sensei in Japan which mostly bred them for passion. So different people has different goals and objectives.
I think a ranchu is a ranchu and there's nothing called true/fake ranchu. Is either a pedigree bred or not. BTW I think it was well recognised that goldfish originated from China and not Japan. The Japanese turned the keeping of goldfish into an art that elevated it to another level. Both side deserves credit don't you think??
