However, chin ppl don't even see this, they r happy with the four greatest inventions.Yet, the fact is China invented more things then the world recognized.

funny, i just realized, without china, we would'nt be using paper, we'd be having wars with sticks and swords,we'd be writing everything instead of printing. wow. guess we owe them one...

@jellyjigglerman Search on wikipedia there more then just 4 big inventions!

Ming Dynasty China had the biggest fleet ever that time on 1400 centry and it took Europe a 1000 years later to make the same size as the Chinese! And they had more ships then the entire Europe and America COMBINED!! So learn more Chinese history then you can come here and disusing our else you dont qualify! We are the longest civilization on heart you think we lived this long by being stupid???????

@98bigbutt All governments have an end. Even democracy crumbles. As it did in Athens and Greece. As did the first French Republic. As did in Poland-Lithuania. As did the Roman Republic. All governments have their deaths, no matter their way of rule. And if you actually look, you will know that democratic governments are a minority in the world. Always has been, always will be.

@98bigbutt Didn't all mammals evolved from rodents...?

I recommend people read Gavin Menzie's best selling books. The first is "1421: The Year that the Chinese Discovered America" , the second is "1434: The Year a Magnificent Chinese Fleet Sailed to Italy and Ignited the Renaissance". Western history is too eurocentric. It needs to be rewritten. Glen Beck points to these 2 books on his show. Search for: Glenn Beck Show (January 14, 2011): China's Rise, America's Fall?

If they're so smart,why do they love white people so much?

[98bigbutt]

Also rats in your apartments originated in China,then spread to Europe and the whites spread them to the Americas.
