China invented paper, printing, the compass and the seismograph. China was among the first to harness fossil fuels, and map the stars. Within the context of its rise to global economic prominence, China hopes once again to lead the world in creative innovation. Expanding on her recent five-part series by PRI’s “The World,” Public Radio International Asia Correspondent Mary Kay Magistad will further examine the history of Chinese innovation and its implications for the future.
