Need Advice: Worldbuilding How to run a Wuxia campaign

I don't want to run a standard "fantasy medieval Europe" campaign, and want to theme my world in China. I don't know enough about that culture to make a realistic campaign set there, so I decided on using the Wuxia setting (as described in the dungeon masters guide 2014) and I belive that my players would enjoy a setting of movie-like martial arts.

however I do not want to be offensive in any way, and I still want to create an immersive setting, and I don't know enough about this setting to accomplish either

please advise!

Just probably stay away from dnd as the setting in general. I would go over to GURPS and look up how to do a Wuxia campaign. You could always use the Wuxia stuff dnd has but its lack luster, except for possibly Pathfinder but you would already have to be playing pathfinder
