"The items are surprisingly similar to the European Mousterian culture, and there is no essential difference between early stone items of the East and West," said Huang Weiwen, I'm sure they were.

Chinese archaeologists say they have uncovered strong evidence that Stone Age people in southern East Asia were at least as technologically advanced as their European cousins -- challenging the long-standing theory of "two cultures". Uh-huh, nice propaganda.
Maybe the Chinese Stone Agers sent a few spies to hang out around the European Stone Agers so they could duplicate the technology back home?

Unlikely. The Tocharians were around in the Tarim Basin from roughly 2000 BC to 1000 AD.
We’re talking about tens of thousands of years earlier than that in this article.

I think that is to be interpreted as begain to think about how to use and manipulate their environment to improve their living conditions...
It's obvious to me from that comment that early man had learned to take rocks and make a floor with them, to improve the otherwise mud floor he would be stuck with.

"Could these have been the Tocharians?" Don't know. May have been the people who became the Jomon - Ainu- Emishi.
The oldest Jomon skeleton ever found was 13k years old and found in Japan. Professor Stephan Oppenheimer says that the oldest Mongoloid skeleton ever found is only 10k years old. I don't know who they were.

“instruments that rivaled those of the Mousterian culture that existed at that time in Europe”
There is in fact quite a bit of controversy surrounding those instruments. From www.combo-organ.com:
This one has typically been thought to be a Farfisa Combo Compact, but there’s been quite a bit of discussion and disagreement about it, with much of the available evidence actually pointing to a Vox Continental as the more likely instrument, including several photos and live appearances with the Vox. According to “The Billboard Book of Number One Hits”, regarding “96 Tears”: One of the songs attributes that has merited attention the past two decades has been its acclaimed use of the Farfisa organ. It was a surprise, then, when Martinez (Lead singer/songwriter Rudy Martinez), revealed in a 1982 Goldmine interview with Jeff Tamarkin that the group used a Vox organ, not a Farfisa .
Oh, sorry, that was the “Mysterians”.

The cave men set up a carbon credit trading system because they knew their campfires created too much pollution.
