Actually many aspects of Chinese civilization are not that old, for example by the time bronze trickled down to them through the north even C*lts in Britain were working with Iron and most of the famous buildings in China are also relatively recent, often even less than 500 years old, there really isn't much in China that's older than that and still in decent condition. Chinese society itself comes across more as a extant ancient society like Egypt or Mesopotamia in the way it functioned and such rather than a modern nation, well formerly it's modern now.
