Ancient Chinese Inventions!

A lot of modern Westerners believe Asians can only imitate, and not innovate.

Well, the exact opposite is actually true. Fact is, whatever the West did, the Chinese typically did first much earlier. And most often Western inventions were in fact derived from Chinese precedents. This includes everything from catsup to esoteric secrets just being transmitted to the West today.

We just weren't credited by European historians. Call it the "Columbus Syndrome."

Anyhow, the overall list is far too comprehensive to list here, but here's a great little 6-part video series on some of the more well-known technology:
