If a domain has clean anchors, great backlink profile but it dropped and was used for one year by a Chinese (not Japanese) company, is it a deal breaker for you?

I've read some about it on the forum but would like to get a better view, let me know what's your take on this.

IME with (3) such domains- two with strong backlinks but ruined by them in a churn and burn, I went ahead with it installed wp, and hand written content, etc put in a bunch of time, all was a waste, so I wouldn't.
 
If the domain has a good past record and good DA/ PA/ DR then I think you should grab it even if it had some chinese content in the past. Then try to recreate those posts with the help of Google translate or a VA who knows Chinese. Then install WPML and create an English version. Then continue English version with further content.

I have never done this myself to be honest but since you asked opinion so I shared my thoughts. I may be wrong, but this is just an opinion.

I wanted to give it a go but sadly the backorder failed I guess there were other people interested in this one.

The domain had an insane backlink profile, 90RD with many .EDU backlinks (not shitty comments, actual links from resource pages, articles etc') and mentions from very reputable sites, it was used for a Chinese website which didn't look spammy at all.
The idea was to restore the pages with the most backlinks , put some filler content and see if the website gets indexed, let it sit for a few months and eventually make it a PBN if everything checks out.
Sadly I cannot test it out now but if I see something similar again, I'll grab it and see how it acts.

Ohh that's really sad. Hope you will get more such new opportunities in 2023, my wishes buddy!
 
I registered a domain yesterday with a spam score of 22% on Moz. I did not check the history as it was available, so I thought nobody might have registered it in the past. Pages are already getting indexed in Google SERPs and Google News. I will keep working on this site and share the results if it gets traffic.
 
It's not clean and could even be penelized from Google,
You should avoid it, it's not really worth the try
