A certain amount of flex from the bushings is normal, but not play. I've not found China bushings to last, so I've replaced them with Japanese bushings where I can. It involves removing the existing bushings, measuring them and then searching for identical measurements online.
I once took a wasted quad swingarm bushing to a Yamaha dealer, and he happily brought out the parts bin that contains all of the bushings he had. We found a match, which was a swingarm bushing from a Yamaha PW80 dirt bike; it was much better quality, and it was a $7.00 solution (at the time). I've shared that part number on this forum several times, and many forum members have had good success with that Yamaha bushing in China quads.
I'm saying all of this to encourage members to share similar info as they find it. If you decide to go on a search for new bushings and you're successful, please tell us.
