RE: "Their best workmanship is a fair match for that of anyone else."

"Some of current Chinese craftspeople revere quality and a fabulous history. "

That's the arts and crafts genre. The Cultural Revolution virtually wiped out all other individual skills. This was made clear to me when I visited a furniture store in Nanjing a number of years ago. The mantra of the sales staff was "No worries, everything is made by machine. We don't sell any junk made by hand." And that's just the outer layer. Need a plumber or electrician? Good luck, they apparently haven't taught those trades in China for decades. Everybody just wings it...
