I see, the old "China was first" that mix a pinch of science with a little of politics. Is an old anthropological war but Africa and Europe provided much more evidence until today If I remember correctly. Even if they don't recognize neanderthals, is a well established taxon, and this does not differ a lot of them (in my non expert opinion), so they should show why this is enough different to deserve a second "oriental neanderthal" species. I can imagine easily neanderthals following migrating animals and conquering most of the northern hemisphere just walking from Atlantic to Pacific coasts in several generations.
