Get fucked.
Absolutely amazing things are happening in Chinese arts, architecture, cinema, culinary arts and more. If you’ve missed that then the joke’s on you.

If you’ve missed that
I haven't. Artists have to dare to be creative everywhere, but nowhere more so than under totalitarian rule, where there's more than a 50% chance that getting it wrong ends up in prison or death rather than just having to get a proper job. The triumph of the human spirit is that even the worst dictators can't crush everybody; the tragedy is that even light repression can extinguish the will to try something new in most of the people.

70 years of communism has pretty much beaten the creativity out of the Chinese people
