China... an ancient civilization emerges from the dark shadows of history to assume her rightful place in the sun as a world superpower.

The Middle Kingdom has given us paper, gunpowder, and low, low prices at Wal-Mart. Her factories work 25 hours a day, pumping out a myriad of consumer products with one thing in common – the “Made In China” label – but this nation of one and a third billion has so much more to offer.

As the China News Writer for InventorSpot.com, I'm privileged to bring you the latest Chinese inventions, innovations and interesting ideas that, though they may originate far away on the other side of the globe, are destined to profoundly affect your day-to-day lives. Join me in “Peking” over the Great Wall and sampling China's tastiest take-out specialty: news and information!
