Not sure about the Ztto Chain, but I think you would be better off getting a genuine one....."Everytime"
I got one off AliExpress, OG-Evkin 10 spd, 3000km later I was in the start box for a ITT and 3, 2,1,SNAP! It was well serviced and checked....just snapped and over the bars I went.

Some things you just get genuine!

Update: I have done roughly 4000km on a ZTTO 12sp gold chain with hollow links and pins. While it looks nice and is super light, it's worn after 4000k. I hot wax my chains and this is the fastest that I've ever worn out a waxed chain. My Campy chains don't even show the slightest signs of wear after 6-7000km.
Also, the chain was noisy and shifting was sub par. I'll stick with established brands for chains, I think.

Dropping experience with 12-speed hollow pin ZTTO chains here as a warning: ordered last September, I didn't even get 500km out of them before they're past acceptable wear, even on the indoor trainer. Had 3 of them, all the same, so total crap. Which surprises me as ZTTO stuff is usually decent quality and this is the first that's really just garbage.

So, if AliExpress, it's rather going to be SUMC or YBN, preferably, although as of late those haven't really been any cheaper than Shimano XT/XTR.

I got ZTTO gold 12sp chain, passed 0.5% stretch after about 300km of mtb use. Waste of money. Do not buy it.

Original SUMC(color, ti nitride) and YBN SLA anly long lasting chains for China.
