Just to continue this rant, the transmission doesn't shift as cleanly as a japanese transmission would. Should I just STFU and live with my bargain chinese ride?

Well don't feel lonely on the shifting issue. Me and my buddies couldn't stand Japanese transmissions. Of course, we were comparing them to Sturmey-Archer (Norton), Burman (Ariel and AJS/Matchless), and Velocette. BSA and Triumph were about as bad as the Japanese ones. A longer shift lever helps quite a bit. Also, it should get better the more miles you put on the bike.
