Hi Mike,
I am not sure how you have made that conclusion?
I am very familiar with Haihong's work and co-design worked quite well in her research.  It worked differently. Some activities that we know to be effective with people in the US/Europe were less successful in China.  Haihong modified her process accordingly and adapted the tools and techniques for her participants. 

I am working now with another graduate student who is practicing co-design with children in rural Cambodia. Again, co-design is working but the tools and techniques and time frame had to be modified to work within the culture.
