Not really, but then again traditional Chinese culture isn't really that alive in China either. Communism in the Eastern bloc imported plenty of Western attitudes, including puritanism albeit under a secular/atheist branding. Also Christianity itself directly has a fairly significant history in the country. The Taiping rebellion was started by a Christian cult after all, and the Protestant House Church movement nowadays still counts tens of millions of members.
