You're right about that, but I'd hope that OP (and everyone else) is savvy with their purchases. If OP does his/her research, then I think they can get manage

Would I use a china carb frameset or wheelset? On the track, yes, on the road, probably not.
Is my decision influenced by empirical (and partially anecdotal) evidence? Yes.
I think that the wear and tear associated with the road/street probably does warrant additional vigilance however.

Though I think you make some good points on the street use though.

No chinese stuff, I want the real ****. And yea 1500 is a stretch but I could go non carbon on stupid stuff like pedals cranks saddle chain etc. I should’ve clarified I want at the least a carbon frame and wheels. Any suggestions on those?
i already have some black omniums and I’ll probably run shimano 105 pedals. I want carbon for the road feel mostly and lightness but I don’t need the big bucks lightness just something lighter and more comfy than my trek steel and an aluminum bianchi

moving target
earlier this year I waited to long to buy a Chinese frame when it went for for around 700 blank, now it is no longer available because it is 3000 and has a sticker on it. happens fairly common, it is surprising how often i would see carbon frames on dealer sites and recognize them from alibaba.
