This is factually and rhetorically incorrect.
Leonardo did invent a parachute, however now the Chinese, who claim ancient greece is a western psyop meant to diminish China's greatness, are forwarding a claim that some nameless gook actually did it first.
They probably mean the first parachute made so cheaply it can only be used for hamsters.
They may, or they may not have but with China, specifically the Han, it is not about the greater narrative of the human species but rather a rewriting of history to erase the greatness of all who threaten them or challenge the narrative of their racial, cultural, and historical superiority.
They are a highly intelligent people but their history shows them to be too cunning and manipulative to ever develop widespread systems of trust. They, despite their undeniable intellect are poor society builders, poor explorers, and utterly without a developed sense of empathy. The cruelty they display to themselves, children, and animals is without peer in the whole of the human species. It is not that they lack the facilities, they are simply inferior processes in their greater cognitive function; they do no express natively with the sensitivity necessary to show the levels of compassion most other racial groups inherently possess. At their absolute best, they are constrained by ritual and a rigid imposition of rules of propriety, unbound by the five classics however, they are merciless and viscous and inherently unstable.
For an extreme illustration, watch Japanese television and understand why they emote so exaggeratedly, so cartoonishly. While Japan seems to focus more on the facial expressions and intonation, China seems to rely more on mannerisms, descriptive language, and non-verbal audio characteristics. One perspective is that they require more blatant emotional cues from which to understand and identify the non verbal communication being conveyed in their visual entertainment.
There is a great and noble history in China, sadly, for the better part of a century they have fostered a culture that abandons everything special about their heritage in favor of a mechanistic evolution of governance predicated on violent imposition of inhuman utilitarian structures of consumption.
And they ruined both eBay and Amazon.
Look up the book 'Ways That Are Dark' by Ralph Townsend where he makes precisely that point.
China man stole it from tyrone. Cuz he was kangs n sheeit. Truuf
