From what Ive seen in Asian paintings, the more important the figure in the painting /drawing the larger it is compared to the people around him/her. For instance in paintings of Mao in groups of people he appears sligtly larger, and compare that with paintings of say George Washington where there isn't really anything to make him standout from his fellow revolutionists.
Simply look around, you'll find many everyday-things inspired by Chinese inventions throughout history. That's not what we are arguing!

Also I disagree that art is completely subjective. There are clear principles, guides, techniques and concepts behind not only what makes up a work of art, but also what would make a work of art "good". Styles may change over time, but that change itself displays a clear progression of technical skill and understanding.
That said, I agree that it's quite a tangent. I'll stop commenting on the art thing until it's relevant again.
