Help Getting China handsets via import

Hi everyone. I'm new to the forums.

I'm just looking for a 'once and for all clarification' on import sets purchased from online/local distributors, specifically for China hand sets.

These China phones that can be bought from online/local distributors:

1. are they usually flashed to English ROMs by the distributors? Or were they using stock China ROMs but distributors set them to English language? How can we determine this (if the phones had been indeed flashed)?

2. if they were flashed to English ROMs, will the OS be able to pull these updates from Lenovo database itself? Any OTAs available?

3. If you flash from China stock OS to an original/official Lenovo OS on your own, will it get updates? I read that people usually flash on their own because of Chinese bloat wares.

Thanks for the support fellas.
