well yes anon, it's commieblocks, what did you expect?
on a serious note, it depends on where you go. city centres usually have more modern glass skyscrapers like you would see in the west, old cities have traditional architecture, and some places like Harbin are entirely foreign
sure Chinese cities can't hold a candle to Paris or London, but their ancient parts (Beijing forbidden city, Xi'an old city, Pingyao) are pretty good too
you also have to remember the custom in China is to tear down a building after 15-20 years and make a new one in its place. In Beijing something like only 5% of the buldings are older than 1980.
