OP didn't say China was the most "productive" state in the planet, instead that they do at least produce despite being seen as an obfuscator.

The "maker" sphere in China is analagous to that in EU/US, the people are waiting for societal change.

Tell me what they should stop producing. Most of what they make is just boring every day stuff that we need to live comfortably. Do you like using knives and forks? What about cookware? A toy for your 2 year old so they can have some fun? Useless shit right?

The consumer electronics people use to post environmentalist takes with. That'd be a good start.
