This might have been the case for a few years between the late 80's and 1994, but I believe that China is still under an arms embargo by the US. I do know that Canadian owners of Chinese firearms are prohibited to sell them to Americans or cross the border with them (even those with ATF permits).

The level of compliance with a registry in the US would be so low that there would be no point to implement one. If the Canadian LGR didn't even get half of the long guns on the registry and only about 65% of owners registered anything at all, imagine how low the US numbers would be. Toss in the fact that plenty of law enforcement departments have already said they won't enforce laws that they feel contravene the Second Amendment and you'd just have a money pit worse than Canada's.
