Description: Discovery Channel brings light to the fact that important inventions like football, sailboat, rocket, compass, gun powder, printing and even Italian spaghetti --- long considered as Western technological advancements --- were actually invented by China. Waking up from centuries of self-closure, China is now trying to catch up with the West by adopting the same kind of innovative and creative traits of their ancestors --- Don't sit and take for granted China will remain a "cheap factory" or "sweatshop" for ever. Get ready to witness this in your lifetime. |
