Well, I don't know who the stupid idiot is, but its infact from China. If you look at the history of Karate, all the way back to the Ryukyu Kobubdo, they do have a deep root in China.
As a matter, the most traditional Okinawa Karate (Goju and Shoto) have kata (Forms, Patterns) that came straight from China. In Goju, the Saifa, Shisochin, Sanseru are all from China, while Suparinpei took its origin from the following Chinese form: Dragon, Tiger and Buddah Fist. While in Shoto, the Kwanku kata and Jion kata with many others are also from China
