The chinese invented many important discoveries that we still use today. Look at this list of stuff they invented
http://chineseculture.about.com/gi/dynam鈥?/a>
The Chinese also had their OWN language. Its not a derivative or stolen like ours....English from Latin. The Chinese is the language that all its neighbor stole from...ex: korean Japanese. There's only a few languages that are original...Chinese is one of them.
China was the world power from the BC era allllllllllllll the way to the opium war. During the Ming dynasty...the chinese built junk ships that dwarfed the european battleships. Zheng He...is the name...i believe could have changed history as we know if only he attacked Europe.
The Chinese Cuisine is the best. It has THE most varieity and they cook stuff in so many ways. It will take 5 years to try everything on the menu|||you are not asking a question. more like lecturing. All languages are derivatives of others. Not sure what your Chinese history is? But there is no single language spoken in China. Mandarin (which I studied) and Cantonese are but the two largst ones. There are dozens of other dialects, some of which are not even understood by each other. The written language is the tie between them. It is NON phonetic. so a symbol although pronounced differently means the same thing to most of the peoples in different areas. As for the food? There is of course no accounting for taste. but the world has a lot of different foods that are very good. Thai is superb and is now faster growing in terms of new restauraants in USA thaan Chinese.|||chinese are the greatest when it comes to there culture but there is one thing that they are lack and thats the bass in there music.

|||No China is Taiwanese.|||To put it simply,no,the way the chinese treat animals is disgusting,apart from there beloved panda!Only the other week in a newspaper there was a two page spread on the diabolical treatment of cats and dogs before they are killed for food,there is absolutely
no reason why they have to eat them in the first place,but the way they are handled before hand is disgusting,i would be quite happy to see china wiped off the face of the earth.|||Yes .
They did not fight until they were attacked
They have a good style of life and more witness than other civilisations|||yes|||Hey look everybody. Somebody let the fanatic out of his cage.
A) China has many languages not just one.
B) China has many ethnicities---although the Chinese like to think that they aren't "mongrelized" (their words, not mine) like the West
C) The Great Wall is "barely visible" from space and "only under nearly perfect conditions and is no more conspicuous than any other man-made objects". That whole 'visible from space' legend was started in 1932---how could anyone know what was visible from space at that time?
Sorry to burst your jaozi|||Uhm. No. Not yet.|||English is Germanic, not Romantic. If you follow that logic about language then Germany is just as great in that respect.
As for your question, no I do not think that.|||quincy j:thanks for your praise of chinese,because i am a chinese
and i even know that in western country their goverment tried everyway to attack chinese(news media speech of your leader)
it is not rare because everyman has a dream of his own country becoming the best one in world
and i have enough confidence about that china will be as stong as what it is in tang dynasty(guess you know)
the time would prove everything|||First of all, you really need to check your facts. The Chinese do not have on single language. There is a distinct division between Cantonese and Mandarin. Then, each is divided by regional dialects which have, in fact, borrowed from other languages. Secondly, English is a Germanic language, not a direct derivative of Latin.
Now, as far as Chinese culture goes, they did have a complex and long lasting culture. That's great. They are also responsible for a number of amazing inventions and discoveries. Both of these facts are true and impressive. Never the less, they have not managed to create in sort of "perfect" civilization. Take a look at the number of revolts and rebellions China has had. They have a long history of social and political strife the rivals the turmoil in any other nation. Granted, they have managed to survive all of those problems, but nevertheless, their history in not exactly a model of utopian existence.
Currently, China is having massive problems. The government is utterly corrupt at every level, poverty, and a lack of education is a major issue.
I will agree that China has done some amazing things, but you have to look at all of the issues that have accompanied their successes. Their history is one of violence and suppression and that simply cannot be ignored.|||A propaganda piece?|||its not all that great. you over glorify the Chinese civilization, which was not what you might think is the modern idea of a unify great large empire.
you must take into account that there was a large group of Han Chinese which occupied the mainland and by far the most numerous, but there are also other kingdoms and tribes surrounding it. In fact these people fought each other all the time throughout history.
i lost my train of thought ill edit this later.|||There is nothing wrong with falling in love with all things Chinese. However, you obviously have a limited understanding of history, and your adoration has clouded your judgment. Why not skip the adoration here, and read some books to enhance your understanding?
For example, you say that China is the oldest surviving ancient civilization. I wonder what this might mean to you. Anthropologists/archaeologists would not agree. As well, when you speak about languages being stolen, it is obvious that you have no idea what you are talking about. As well, ... everything else is embellished as well.
