Chinese already get Chu Ko Nu which are comparable to Hand Cannons. Large and inaccurate attack, same range, have more HP (50 vs. 35) instead of bonus vs. Infantry or melee armour.

Block Printing in AoE2 is just a generic name for a technology that gives Monks +3 range. It has absolutely nothing to do with the real life technological advancement. It could be named anything else and it wouldn't make a difference.\

Chinese should get the Bombard Cannons, though. Maybe take out Siege Rams and give them Bombards instead. They need those to protect their Chu Ko Nus and Scorpions from Mangonels.
