I don't know Blam.  I'm extremely under impressed with China.  Without the U.S. it would still be a 97% oxcart nation.  If they were so important and creative and gifted, why were they still in the utilitarian stage when many many other societies are well ensconced in the 21st Century?  Why are they continually puffing up their chest when other nations are content to be who they are.  They just come off as a children.

China is nothing more than a petulant child still sucking at the tit of it's proxy mother, and frankly that mother has been a little too nurturing and woefully lacking in using her back-hand at the appropriate moment.
