My wife is Chinese, born in El Paso but her mother was born in China and her paternal grandparents immigrated from China to grow produce along the Rio Grand. As a point of pride, not arrogance, she points out so many things that existed in China well before they were introduced in China. She read the article that a member either wrote or linked here some time ago that discussed tartan being discovered in western China that was 3,000 years old. So it has become a joke about tartan being more Sino than Celtic. Hence, no issues with the kilt and I have worn one all over China on vacation fall 2010.
