  27. ​​ @SS-fu6tu  According to international IQ studies by University Of Helsinki in Finland, the average IQ score of India is below world average, about 80, while China's is 105. International chess is not popular in China that's because Chinese chess is the one mostly played there. There are Chinese grandmasters of international chess, some of the world's best international chess players are Chinese. Chinese are among the top 3 best international chess players in the world, despite international chess is not popular in China, and very few Chinese in the world play international chess. There are is no Indian good at playing Chinese chess though. According to ancient Chinese records dated 200 BC, Chinese chess matching the description of today's Chinese chess already existed. The names of the chess game and pieces are exactly the same as today's. International chess is very similar to Chinese chess except Chinese chess is more sophisticated due to two cannon pieces on each side. The earliest mention of something maybe related to chess in ancient Indian record was in 700AD, almost a 1000 years after the Chinese chess. And there is no evidence that a game resembles international chess or Chinese chess existed in India. What this means is international chess is derived from Chinese chess due to many similarities between them, such as how the horse pieces move in L pattern, diagonal moves of certain pieces, 64 squares on the board, etc. Most likely Chinese chess spread through the silk road to Persia and then to Europe. There is Persian record dated around 500AD mentioning a Persian king was good at playing a chess game with a name that sounds like the name of the Chinese chess game.

  93.  @gshen231  Like I said, major trades between civilizations in the ancient world were done through the Silk Roads from China to Central Asia, Western Asia, South Asia and Europe. Many commodities and products included spices, not just silk, were exported from China through the Silk Roads to many parts of the ancient world. China also traded heavily with Southeast East. Even before China built the world's first transoceanic ship fleets that sailed as far as Africa and possibly to Australia or even Mesoamerica. Europeans sent many people including the Jesuits to study in China because China was the most advanced civilization at the time. Europe was 1000 years behind China until Europeans went to China to study, after those Europeans went back to Europe they started the Industrial Revolution in Europe by using many Chinese technologies which they had learned from China. Marco Polo is the famous European who first published details of the technological advancements in China that shocked Europe, but he wasn't the first European travelled to China, there had been thousands of years before him. A defected Roman legion army went and stayed to settle in China. China created the world's first university exams which are still being used worldwide today. The world's first and is still the world's biggest encyclopedia with over 10,000 books was published in China. China was the ancient world's biggest manufacturer and exporter for thousands of years. Even India imported Chinese products such as silk, paper, chinaware, tea and rice, until India learned to produce them. Internationally acclaimed historians say ancient China's GDP was 60% of the world's total GDP, that is how big China's GDP was.
