There's probably arguments to made that the Chinese economic growth and technological mindset of the last 10-20 years reflects that of the USA (and maybe USSR) when they were writing phenomenal sci-fi in the last century, but who knows. Without getting too into politics you have to admit China is the site of lots of scientific endeavour and social change being driven by science. Maybe that's catalytic to good sci-fi (but then I haven't read any other good Chinese sci-fi).

Remembrance of Earth's Past < Blindopraxia IMO but they're still both incredible. I would pay good money for Cixin and Watts to sit down and create a book together, Jesus Christ (pic related)

The genre-spanning nature of the tales make them difficult to directly contrast. I personally feel The Poet's and Detective's Tales are the weakest (though both still great short stories), although I freely admit The Poet's Tale went slightly over my head.
