How about you try to answer my question in stead...
...of throwing unfounded accusations of "sinophobia" around, you Commie arse-licker?
So, again: What the fuck IS there to "start a firestorm" about?!?
ISN'T this just, a) another example of a totalitarian regime claiming its people are the mothers of all invention, just like the Soviets used to do; and/or, b) in case it's actually true(*), just another example of the ancient Chinese discovering something, and NOT _doing_ anything with it?
So, why would anyone want -- or feel the need -- to "start a firestorm" about it?
If the anchor on the TV news this evening went, "And this just in: The Chinese flew to the Moon in 1421, but didn't do anything once they got there, never repeated the trip, and suppressed all the records once they got back" -- who would give a shit, and why?
(*): Quite possible -- but, as per the above: So what?
