What a slap in the face! American netizens asked: China is so great, why has it never invented anything?
Why does China, for all its glory, seem to have created nothing new? Just constantly taking everything from the United States?
This is a question asked by an American netizen who has shown ignorance and arrogance abroad.
For this unreasonable question from an American netizen, netizens from all over the world have actively responded.
An Australian netizen said that this perception is not unique in the United States. He once read an article by an American student that said that in the past 100,000 years, 98% of the world's innovation originated in the United States. In addition, the United States has appeared in international affairs in a very active manner, and does not hesitate to use military force to stop any attempt to undermine world peace. Why do they ignore the fact that the United States is only 250 years old, and that humanity has a fairly high level of intelligence before that?
Another Canadian netizen said that China's contribution goes far beyond papermaking, the compass, printing, the imperial examination system, porcelain, instant noodles, gunpowder, silk, printing and dyeing, Chinese martial arts, and so on. However, despite this, there are those who believe that China has not created anything new.
And a netizen from Russia bluntly replied that if you have any questions, go to the Internet to search and don't spread ignorance here. In fact, China creates far more new inventions each year than the United States.
Finally, a British netizen seriously answered the American netizen's question. He pointed out that the history of the United States is only 250 years, and China has had brilliant development before the emergence of the United States. And many of America's cultures and achievements have come from other countries, including languages. They don't even need to translate books from other countries, they just need to change their names.
Without China, there would not even be the modern world, because many important inventions originated in China, such as gunpowder, the compass, printing, etc. These inventions ushered in the Fever Era, advanced seafaring exploration, and had a profound impact on the dissemination of knowledge. Therefore, it can be said that China's contribution has played a crucial role in the formation of modern civilization.
