Typically in German cars, the rotors quickly become too thin to re-use.
A rotor can look nice, but if it isn't measured by a micrometer, and is proven to meet factory thickness specs, you can't re-use it. Also, if the rotor is close to the minimum thickness, machining it may put it below minimum thickness. The other thing that could happen is to have a rotor that meets thickness requirements now, but halfway into the life of the replacement pads, the rotor is too thin to perform properly.
China rotors aren't all bad. I have dealt with many cases where rotors from China are actually better than OE rotors made somewhere else. OEM Chrysler rotors are often made in Canada, but warp or wear far more quickly than mid-grade rotors from China.
