This is a complex answer and many factors to it. China is a communist country so it can control it's industry and banking system. The government is in control of the majority of the industry.

Describe the impact of Chinese culture on japan?

The Japanese have taken much from Chinese culture, but over the centuries has put a distinctly Japanese stamp on it. For instance, tea is an important part of both countries' culture, with tea formal ceremonies to make and serve tea, but the Japanese version has become the ritual that most people think of. Both countries share a lot of early influences such as Buddhism, and the Chinese philosophy of Confucianism has played a big part in the Japanese way of looking at the world. Ideas such as collectivism and filial piety are part of Confucius' teachings that still resonate today in Japanese society. Other traditional Confucian values include the importance of education and saving within families. Chinese writing is also the basis of Japanese: "kanji," the pictographic Japanese alphabet uses Chinese characters, though they're pronounced differently. Many kanji characters mean the same thing in Japanese and Chinese. The Japanese added two more phonetic, simpler alphabets with fewer characters than the thousands required to master kanji.

How do you make a small version of the great wall of China out of clay?

I assume you want to make a section of the wall in model form, one way to make the blocks for your wall is with "sculpy" clay, but that can get a little expensive, another way is to make sheets of plaster about 1" thick and carve it to look like a block wall, have a picture so you have something to guide you. Good-Luck!
