This is true. I've never seen a Chinese citizen with a 5-10 year B 1/2. The only thing that is a little better for them is if they have been issued a US visa in the past, they do not need to go in for another interview, unless one is warranted.
The Chinese give US citizens 1-2 year visas for visiting. So, it is not too far off.
