Was China advanced?

2018-10-11 02:31:19 UTC  

give them a hundred years

2018-10-11 02:31:21 UTC  

Were they?

2018-10-11 02:31:23 UTC  

Yes or no

2018-10-11 02:31:25 UTC  

Yes

2018-10-11 02:31:26 UTC  

In ~1300

2018-10-11 02:31:27 UTC  

okay

2018-10-11 02:31:32 UTC  

eh, in ~1500

2018-10-11 02:31:36 UTC  

Why the fuck didn't they have guns?

2018-10-11 02:31:40 UTC  

Or colonies in the New World?

2018-10-11 02:31:43 UTC  

I can answer this for you.

2018-10-11 02:31:49 UTC  

It's because they didn't need it

2018-10-11 02:31:49 UTC  

They had guns.

2018-10-11 02:31:52 UTC  

There was no real push

2018-10-11 02:31:57 UTC  

Well, largescale gunpowder armies

2018-10-11 02:31:58 UTC  

Or cannons

2018-10-11 02:32:02 UTC  

firecrackers attached to sticks.

2018-10-11 02:32:03 UTC  

They created other major things, and never had to fight international wars

2018-10-11 02:32:03 UTC  

As Europeans were adapting to

2018-10-11 02:32:05 UTC  

harmless

2018-10-11 02:32:07 UTC  

Yes, but not proper guns

2018-10-11 02:32:12 UTC  

They had no need for massive amounts of guns

2018-10-11 02:32:13 UTC  

That actually could reliably kill people

2018-10-11 02:32:15 UTC  

See.

2018-10-11 02:32:24 UTC  

Logan, in Africa, the Empires primarily relied upon trade

2018-10-11 02:32:31 UTC  

So niggers had no need for intelligence?

2018-10-11 02:32:43 UTC  

They didn't have need for guns as it didn't suit their style of warfare

2018-10-11 02:32:49 UTC  

europe had the guns.

2018-10-11 02:32:53 UTC  

The empire of Kilwa was isolated, for instance

2018-10-11 02:32:54 UTC  

functioning,

2018-10-11 02:32:59 UTC  

They needed a strong navy

2018-10-11 02:33:00 UTC  

for trade

2018-10-11 02:33:05 UTC  

for their position on the sea road

2018-10-11 02:33:16 UTC  

So they actually had more advanced technology than europeans on that front

2018-10-11 02:33:27 UTC  

Europeans, however, had massive political divides and bountiful warfare

2018-10-11 02:33:36 UTC  

They required technology to enhance destruction

2018-10-11 02:33:38 UTC  

^

2018-10-11 02:33:44 UTC  

Oh, and I should add, the conditions in Europe were way different

2018-10-11 02:34:09 UTC  

I don't know terribly much about Kilwa, Mali, Nubia, Great Zimbabwe, or other mighty African empires

2018-10-11 02:34:14 UTC  

it's not my historical speciality

2018-10-11 02:34:15 UTC  

So one liking ships and the other liking canons makes the whole race retarded
