It's especially annoying when the subject is Chinese history.

"It's especially annoying when the subject is Chinese history."

Yup. Apparently, this reporter managed to miss out on the history of half the planet during his/her studies.

While we were grubbing around for roots and berries, the Chinese were shooting off fireworks and creating some of the most amazing art in human history. They managed to fall behind, later on, due to their political system, but to ignore the rich history of China is to be about as provincial as one can be.
