What does "The Chinese have a curious take on intellectual property and retail." mean in the following article? Is it an OK thing to say?

I'm not sure if there's anything illegal in selling an iPhone 5 on taobao for delivery once it is released.? While Apple doesn't like you to resell your iPhones, once you own it, you can dispose of it however you please.? And if the seller follows through and delivers the iPhone, its hard to see how any Chinese or US laws are being violated.

The phrase "the Chinese" in that statement is either a horrific grammar mistake, or somewhat of a racist generalization.? There are over a billion Chinese people in the world, and a few people pre-selling the iPhone 5 on taobao.? If she's using those handfull of people to suggest that all Chinese people are prone to shady business dealings (in spite of the fact that she doesn't actually describe why they're shady), yeah, she's being racist.
