>There's a reason almost all high end stuff is made in China as well (from Apple and Armani, to BMW parts).
Yeah, they're cheap. If you've ever worked with Chinese suppliers unless you give them a lot of crap they will send you parts where 10-20% aren't useable. They only pay attention to quality if there's a foreign company putting lots and lots of pressure on the factory to produce to their standards.
>China as a culture, has had extreme global masters for millennia, in painting, sculpture, woodwork, and tons of other arts.
Yes, but they lost them in the last century because of some movement, where they killed artists, intellectuals, etc... They still haven't recovered from this. If you kill a whole generation of intellectuals it will take probably a few more centuries to regain that culture they lost.
