As it is the case in Thai cuisine, noodles occupy an important position in Chinese cuisine.
In Chinese cuisine, noodles can be served three ways: in a clear soup with meat and some vegetables, or mixed with meat and with a thickened sauce poured over or without sauce; whereas for noodles with sauce egg noodles (mien) are commonly used, it's bijon noodles if served without sauce.
But while Chinese cuisine may not beat French cuisine in the degree it is complicated to prepare dishes, Chinese cuisine certainly wins the prize for stranger ingredients.

New Indian cooking, though not as sizeable a movement as Asian fusion, is not only about Indian cuisine, and not only about the effect of Western technique and ingredients on that cuisine, but also about what India has to teach Western chefs about an entire category of flavors.
While I appreciate your advocacy for the interesting term "cosmopolitan cuisine" I submit that if you used it in a conversation even with ultra-well-informed Indian food fanciers nobody would know what the fuck you were talking about.
i'm not really engaged in advocacy for the term "cosmopolitan cuisine" (though if i were doing this seriously i find your objection to it a very strange one--there must have been a time when "nouvelle cuisine" too must have been a new term that no one recognized immediately).
