I dont think that China gets enough credit for all of their efforts.

Fireworks displays are fantastic, I just love them, and in NZ on November 5th (haha I think) we have Guy Fawkes day, and everyone rushes to buy the Chinese fireworks, 'coz they are just sooo much better!
One chinese shop sells the best of the best, and he has pre orders and huge lines outside his store right up until the evening of guy fawkes.
