The only differences are new technologies which mean public services such as medicine are cheaper and more effective, in terms of human behaviour which has not changed significantly there is little change, there are plenty of examples of angry mobs taking the law into their own hands in the 19th century when westerners were about as wealthy as modern Chinamen. There is little change in the structure of society either, there is plenty of nepotism in the Chinese state analogous to the european aristocracy, plenty of nouveau riche aswell.
