Probably because LOTR is supposed to be before our recorded history, or even just another world. There arent chinese in lotr, so why would their combat tools be in lotr?

If you wanna know why theyre not in ME, dont ask us, none of us wrote it! youll have to invent time travel and go back in time to meet tolkien and ask him why.
