I haven't read this work of Weber, but whoever claims that China had no sense of "prophesy" obviously hasn't studied much of China in the least. Divination is KEY in Chinese mythology (Yijing), and by the Song dynasty, cosmological discoveries were made on the pretense of trying to divine the Heavens.

The major area for improvement should be in criticism, particularly from the Chinese perspective. As Weber used the ideal type methodology and since the data available to him in 1915 was far less than it is now Weber made a lot of claims which can't be verified and others which are plain untrue. A response section would lend a lot more balance to this article.
