I think a big difference between Italy/Greece and China was the staple crop. Wheat you can grow and harvest on your own, without needed your neighbors. Rice, otoh, requires extensive irrigation and help during harvest, which means you need your neighbors to survive even if you hate them. The individualist/collectivist distinction between West and East was ultimately a result of this difference in their staple crops imo.
