Just bought a couple things off aliexpress. Hadnt bought from the site before.

I fully expect both to be totally safe and serviceable. At worst, I will change out the 6 stem bolts if they are soft or whatever, and use spare bolts I already have.
These are half the cost elsewhere.

I guess the handlebars could be fake?...who fakes a silver Uno handlebar though?...and if so, then I am out $18 and will buy a Ritchey bar. But I doubt its a fake handlebar or that its unsafe. If there are any crease or cuts then sure Ill toss the bars. Some squeezing and flexing should show they feel no different from every other drop bar when new.
If they end up being unsafe, god save my kid!
