At the time of chinas push, brit has 48 vills, china has 35 vills and 10 = tower. So still no big deal, and during that push china has age 3 units and brit has age 2 units, if brit decides to age they will have 2-4 less vills and they have to upgrade their units. Eco wise it seems about even or SLIGHTLY brit favored, but china makes up for it with all their free units. To me this matchup seems pretty even, but also you gotta remeber brit is running out of safe hunts. At the time of the china push, china is still gathering in base and brit is halfway across map hunting.
Bias confirmed.
Tower is 8 (unupgraded' its less once you get market upgrades) vills on wood, the economy discrepancy is gigantic (not two vills), the only "free" units Chinese get are from the Summer Palace, and Longbowmen are ridiculously effective against the Chinese army composition in general.
longbow are not effective against mass melee units. hussar dragoon jaeger is better against china.
In small numbers they aren't' in the numbers you'll have at 10min into the game they are extremely effective. The main reason why Longbowmen are so good against Chinese is that while they do worse against heavy infantry than Skirmisher type units, they do about three times as well against cavalry.
I think it depends on how many hunts (water) there is and definitely about how narrow the maps are' on closed maps longbows can be used aggressively too and won't die to the melee composition.
Don't let the things you can't change dictate your life.

Youll have 3 times more units, 8min means he doesnt have any units btw .
but it does mean that hes in fortress with at least one shipment otw, at least one military structure training units, a few units from age 2 wonder, minutemen, tc fire and the continual threat of another shipment popping

Lets say he has 10 skirms, 4cav, disciples, mms, 3 pikes and 3 bows at 8min30, youll rape it with a bit of micro. If youre not confident in your micro go musk/huss.
