It is; I happen to live there. It is a land of paradoxes and extremes. On the one hand you have those crumbling tenements and poorly-built apartments, but on the other you have shiny new high-rises, parks, and wonders that put any city in America to shame. In front of dirty storefronts you will find parents allow their children to publicly defecate on the concrete sidewalk, while a few blocks away the wide streets are swept perfectly clean. You will be constantly disgusted and appalled by nongs and their complete disregard of cleanliness, common sense and life, yet you will also meet a few individuals who are genuinely decent people and will treat you as family.
I blame all this on history. In the 19th century China was steadily headed to collapse with a complete inability to modernize while Japan had enough of a reprieve to industrialize and stabilize its society. The 20th century was an absolute nightmare for the big country as one tyranny fell away to another, culminating in the communist eradication of fifty millions and the destruction of much of its traditional culture. The disparity between potential economic output and actual economic output was enormous thanks to socialism. Thus when China finally opened it was a Big Bang that squeezed a hundred years of economic development into thirty. Development was by no means uniform; quite the opposite, and with such little time culture never quite caught up, which is why Chinese still behave like peasants. This is why the ruling communist party has changed its tack and openly supports its traditional culture in order to reinforce a national identity and ensure "harmony" in the land.
Unlike 8Channers, who have a special fetish of hate against Chinese and regard them as "human insects," I think that the main fault is genuinely culture rather than genetic, though their tendency to groupthink with no dissent obviously plays a role. Look at Taiwan for a China done right.

I've seen a screencap claiming that centuries of being constantly invaded and ruled over by foreign peoples has instilled a subservient character in the people. Is there any truth to this?

Yes, though even if it was their own people (the Han) they would still treat the Emperor as a physical god. The Mandate of Heaven, after all, was basically Divine Right to Rule on steroids.

friendly reminder, old Chinese people piss and shit in streets. There is video of grandmothers teaching their grand daughters how to piss in street drains.
this isn't because China doesn't have toilets. It's because no one cares about anything public.
