the "finding a note in English from a prisoner in a Chinese factory" garbage dates back to a racist 1959 cold war Daffy Duck cartoon called China Jones (en.wikipedia.org)

Daffy Duck is China Jones, an Irish private investigator working in Hong Kong in the Far East. At a restaurant called Lo Down, he finds a fortune cookie containing a call for help which states: "HELP!! I'm being held prisoner in a Chinese bakery. - £150 REWARD" (around £4,374 in today's money) and decides to investigate.
