What did china invent?

Answer 1

China is an ancient civilization, however, many civilizations are much older. Iran is the oldest civilization on Earth -- 1,000 years older than China.

Although the Chinese did invent some things, most notably gun powder, many of the inventions claimed by China were actually invented elsewhere.

For example:

Coins -- Mesopotamia

Ice cream -- Northern Europe and North Central Asia

Dogs -- Western Europe (modern Germany)

Paper -- Egypt

Football (also called soccer) -- Greece

Fishing poles -- Eastern Africa

In fact, even the abacus was made in ancient Mesopotamia and Iran long before it appeared in China.

Although China did invent some things, much of what they claim to have 'invented' was borrowed from other, much older cultures in the Middle East and ancient Iran. What the Chinese have been good at is copying other peoples' inventions, much like today.
