Okay, granted... however I still don't see the Chinese as getting the walking mecha first. They tended to put their engineering into massive fortifications likes walls, or massive clockwork things like that model of China in the tomb or the water clock multi-story complex thing.
Also, it may be end up being a lack of knowledge on my part... but I can't recall China having seige tech that was as elaborate as Europe got into during the ancient age. It may be the man power ment several thousand expendable workers thing they used for major construction, like the Great Wall.
If they did make mecha I'm seeing more crawling tank types that are heavy on projectile explosives for China.
