The Great Idea That Keeps Giving The idiotic society we all know today would be much worse if it weren't for the ancient Chinese inventions. In fact America itself would most likely not be an independent country if it weren’t for the Chinese. The most important Chinese invention that has affected everyone was the invention of paper. Paper was not well adapted by the West, in fact it took years, and years for the west to understand how to make and use paper.
