Chairman Mao’s funeral was September 9th, 1976. THAT WAS FIFTY YEARS AGO. At this point, in my admittedly scarce knowledge of Chinese history, other than discovering fireworks, I honestly believe that beginning 50 years ago, China had discovered nothing, patented nothing, and for all practical purposes, mass manufactured nothing, and imported and exported not much […]
