I have found this article (http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2010/03/15/showcase-of-web-design-in-china-from-imitation-to-innovation-and-user-centered-design/) on web design. I personally don't feel that there is an UX/UI gap between the east and west. I have a few chinese apps on my ipad, and their aesthetics and functions are on par to the west apps. Here are the chinese apps I have: sohu hd (video entertainment), chinese chess hd (game), oxradio (music streaming). I do notice the chinese sites, or games, tend to include more colorful, "cute", anime-ish avatars. -Jeff
