While mobile games and computer games capture the attention of most people in both countries I don't see why that would result in a major difference.
Japan and China were both heavily damaged after WW2
Obviously there are cultural differences but at their core there is still the Confucian foundation that they are built upon
The only big difference was the cultural revolution, that happened in China and not Japan. Yet, I am not really sure if that provides an explanation as to why there are very few go parlors in China.
There is no shortage of children focused go schools all across China. But finding go playing communities for adults is difficult in China even in big cities.

Re: Japanese documentary about a Go Parlor in Kabuki-cho
what do you usually pay to play in these Go parlors?
I assume the prices differ from place to place, but what is the price range?

In Japan, I have seen anywhere from 500 yen to about 1800 yen for the day. They give discounts if you go late or stay only two hours.
