This is an interesting discussion to read 
I would like to add: The 100 Export delivered is what makes it possible to perform new ‘build orders’. Without it, for example, it would not be possible to ‘open’ with a Blockhouse or to get the German Food Trickle.
Hopefully the card will create new ways to play China early on (I personally like how it means the “Northern Refugees” card can be saved for use later on)
