[quote=KATRINA,243623]Recently, a former senior official from China's top cultural organization claimed that the Chinese contribution to the global civilization has declined since the " Four Great Inventions"(Gunpowder, Papermaking, Printing, Compass). This statement provoked diverse responses. Some people strongly favored the statement and stated that China had lagged behind for several centuries. Obviously, its contribution to the world had always been declining after the " Four Great Inventions". On the contrary,others believe that the Chinese people has always made great contribution to the global civilization, and the contribution is increasing.

Well, personally,I think that it is hard for the Chinese to have an unbiased and clear mind to judge this issue, since they are part of China.   Just like a quote from Griz goes," a person "cannot see the forest for the trees" when immersed in the situation."

So, I think, for this issue, the bystanders(non-Chinese) may have a more balanced perspective.  What is your view?[/quote]
