I thought it was because the Chinese invented Rock music before America?

and one of the birth places for a world wide established martial art.
Every time I dig into Chinese cultural history, I am amazed. For example, I've been studying the Hong Lou Meng series by Cao Xueqin (and Gao E, I suppose for the last 40 chapters), and in the process I found that the earliest musical manuscripts PREDATE European attempts at notation by 600+ years (!!!!) and the evidence is hanging in some Japanese Museum...

They were using paper currency when Europe was in the dark ages... Gunpowder... They were navigating the oceans (supposedly...there's some debate about this still) before Magellan had pubes...

But for all the positives, they have some ugly negatives... political corruption (ever present) especially... That's one piece of history I imagine they'd like to NOT be known for.

Good thing we don't have any corrupt politicians like China does.
:lol: Strangely enough, the most corrupt American politician wouldn't even come close to the low-level corruption that goes on within the CCP.

Let me know when an American politician is accused of embezzling Billions of dollars and has 100 mistresses!!!

Bo Xilai is a good (bad?) example...
