what did he mean by this?

>Of course, Nietzsche himself was not thinking of the sort of historical facts and influences mentioned above. He was rather alluding to a deeper level on which Kant himself was in some sense “Chinese”. Although he never provides a clear explanation of just how his now famous epithet ought to be interpreted, a clue might be drawn from his general attitude towards Eastern cultures. In general Nietzsche tends to view them as mediocre, self-satisfied, and rigidly moralistic. Thus, when he wishes to convey the notion that modern European man has ceased striving for greatness, he says: “we suspect that things will continue to go down, down, to become thinner, more good-natured, more prudent, more comfortable, more mediocre, more indifferent, more Chinese, more Christian ...” Most of Nietzsche’s books are speckled with such cryptic references to Chinese/Asian culture. For example, in The Will to Power, he refers to “Chinese ossification” in socio-political matters, and later asks: “is our morality—our modern sensitive European morality, which may be compared with the morality of the Chinese—the expression of a physiological regression?”

Like (neo-)Confucians, Kant valued duties over rights.

it's funny because Kant was a better and more influential philosopher in every way than Nietzsche

...

He isn't better suited as a philosopher of the modern day as Nietzsche is

"What destroys more quickly than to work, to think, to feel without inner necessity, without a deep personal choice, without pleasure? As an automaton of “duty”? It is straightaway the recipe to décadence, to
idiocy even... Kant became an idiot. — And this was the contemporary of Goethe! This fatal spider was considered the German
philosopher — still is! I take care in saying what I think about the Germans..."
