Why are there barely any pure crypto coins that are Chinese? I means coins like Vertcoin, Litecoin, Viacoin... But there are a lot of platforms instead...
Are they just doing "serious" stuff or weren't they involved in crypto before Ethereum became big?
Have you looked into the NEO project? NEO is a Chines project and I think it is a good competitor to the Ethereum. There some other good projects from Chines people like QTUM.
