A fair bit of the impact here is also rice cultivation and irrigated river valleys (also cultivating wheat in N. China) which leads to very high population densities. Note in the linked bit how the key limit is population density.
I wouldn't necessarily say the difference - as far as I can tell - is technology per se, so much as patterns of agriculture. My sense of the research is that wheat yields in N. China were not dissimilar from contemporary yields in Europe or Mesopotamia.

But most agriculture in Europe is rainfall agriculture and areas of river-irrigation agriculture are fairly small. The Yangtze and Yellow rivers are *huge* by comparison. Like, the Yangtze discharges 30,000m3/s compared to the Nile's c. 3,000m3/s.
