There's plenty of STM32 of any flavor in China. Alibaba is a good source. There may be fakes though, but reputable resellers (pay attention to reviews and tenure) normally sell genuine chips.
I've gotten some Blue Pills with (properly labeled) CKS32s on them, which might be of lesser quality, but I've also seen people reporting getting Blue Pills with (properly labeled) GD32s, which are higher quality than the ST part, at least in the sense that they run successfully at higher clock speeds. (I couldn't tell you if they have more problems turning on many peripherals at close-together times, or if they have more noise on their ADCs, or something.)
You have to research the counterfeit market for each chip/product series. There's no hard and fast rule for their quality because many of them come from the same factories that make the real chips when unscrupulous fabs have shadow shifts manufacturing their clients' designs for themselves or just straight up copy and rebrand it.
