It's a "computer system" the same way an abacus is a "computer system".

Chinese invented the abacus thousands of years earlier.

Romans independently invented the abacus (it's a Latin word you know) also more than 600 years ago.

The Chinese got the abacus from the Romans, the earliest known example was dug up in Greece.
