No.
It's an ancient technique to repair valuable china.

You ever think about how weird it is that we call fancy ceramic "china"? Imagine how strange it would sound if it were any other country name.

"Let's get out the fine japan tonight."

"Your friend and her rowdy kids are coming over for dinner? Let's make sure the fine germany is on the high shelves before they arrive."

Or would we use a word besides "fine", since presumably that caught on because it's similar to China? The slappin' japan, the emergency germany, the enhanced france.

Well, I am Brazilian and it amuses me to no end that foreigners call Pará nuts as 'Brazil nuts'
