An aviation degree is scarcely worth the paper its printed on. The expense you'll go to at riddle is most definitely not worth it, and it will not give you any advantage or leg up.
Get the aviation degree if you want, and go to ERAU if you want. If you have money to burn, why not.
If you have other priorities than burn money and gain a reputation as a trust fund kid, you might consider other options.
As for flying in China...you haven't done the research that you think you've done.
