It is to many fans, given their exposure to the Japanese' output (which Matches or Surpasses the United State's output).
China is an interesting case, actually, as it has a riuch mythology but of late little has been constructed in regards to heroes that I can find.
And I do find your example annoying actually as it takes one precept of mythology from one group and uses it as the truth while unintentionally being dismissive of other cultures unless they tread very carefully.
IE: The vampires in question are effected by the Chinese sticky-charms as their legends hold, but remain from their country of origin.
