Asians are usually shorter than Caucasians. To be good at biking, I think you're better off to be somewhat tall, with very little mass.
Also, when I left China (1996), it was still a 3rd world country. Most people were struggling to make a living. There was so such luxury as spending $1000 on a bicycle.
