China's treatment of some of its people.
- Who Invented it? When? China - http://www.askasia.org/frclasrm/lessplan/l000019.htm
- Modern Chinese,
themselves, sometimes are surprised to realize that modern
agriculture, shipping, astronomical observatories, decimal
mathematics, paper money, umbrellas, wheelbarrows, multi-stage
rockets, brandy and whiskey, the game of chess, and much more, all
came from China. This information has been compiled by the work of
Joseph Needham and his collegues in a study of ancient Chinese books
on science, technology and medicine. His research has been published
in the massive, and yet to be completed, multi-volume Science and
Civilisation in China.
