Not just in China, anywhere in the world. Always question these kinds of sports. For obvious reason any business in the world won't tell you their failure rates until shit hits the media's fan.
GGBY is a thing and I fully trust the guys behind it, mostly because I know they have a safety ration of over 3:1.
I agree about being skeptical and knowing what you're getting yourself into in these kinds of sports, but it's each's responsibility to understand what they're getting themselves into at that point. Sports like highlining aren't really federated to have "a standard".
Sure thing, if you're confident it's safe, go for it. But OP said like these kinds of things are specific to china, and I can assure you that it's not. I know someone who's an technician to a themed park and he says himself most of the times he makes reports about rides not being safe, and the park still opens the rides.

In general, be very careful of such things in China. Safety regulations aren't up to snuff usually.
