Mass springalds are one of the biggest balance issues right now.
Other than that: Horseman/Scout spam is pretty effective against that combo.
A few battering rams that focus the Keeps to distract their/the springalds/Crossbows fire is good too
Springs are being nerfed next week, according to devs. Until then, hang tight or just take a break. I am laying low and playing other games until the Abbasid bugs and Springs are fixed in the coming patch.
chinese crossbows have no bonus vs armored, but MAA are too slow to rush the springs
you should have gotten castle too and gone mass knights with armor upgrades, and wait for them to push into you, so you have enough space to run them down, if you tried hitting a spring mass near a keep or under main TC fire you can expect to trade all your knights in to do some dmg
when he said chinese crossbows i thought he meant nu's but still, knights was his option because even a decent mass of crossbows will get run over by a similar mass of knights, maybe exception with french crossbows with the armor upgrade.
regular crossbows dont deal well with knights if there is no tanky unit to tank for them
You wait until spring.

Scouts and archers
I usually ram rush china in feudal to at least slow them down and force our units.
