Actually China doesn`t have legally-mandated vacations. Where OP is getting that, I don`t know. (A caution, OP, I know a lot more about this stuff than you do.)
OP, please note I am in Canada, where our enlightened government requires all employers to give their employees at least two weeks`paid vacation time per year. Sounds good, doesn`t it - but wait! Canadian employers are not allowed to let their employees carry over said paid vacation time into subsequent years, even if the employees request it. Canadian employers would be fined if they allowed this. So while Canada might seem on the surface a good place for you to go, it actually isn`t (phew).
Finally, we hear a lot of American employees wailing and moaning about not having any legally-mandated vacation time, and somehow blaming their employers for this. It`s not your employer`s fault OP, and it`s not our fault - it`s your fault. The way to fix this is for you and your fellow wailers and moaners to stop voting for employer-friendly candidates and start voting for candidates who`ll get you the vacation time you want.
No matter who you vote, Democrat or Republican they don't care about people they are supposed to represent. As for China they probably don't mandate vacations but they do public holidays which they have 10 days per year. I did not take it from the air though. There was recently news about countries and their vacations around the world.
Also I don't think in most states employees allow to carry over. It is probably only in VEBA states (like California, Illinois, Colorado). When I worked for a major large employer in Iowa, we had to use them or loose them. In Illinois when I worked we were allowed to keep some to roll over next year. And now it is same for my current company in California although they seem to strongly discourage it.
