(MY THOUGHTS...)
China is really impressive. They have been at the head of the game for years. Even in present day they are killing it. Now when asked if there Golden Age was as significant as Western Renaissance I have to disagree. China was already a really big deal. They never really went through hard times. The West really went through it, so the fact that they are were they are is very significant. Both equally important, but Europe needed the help a lot more than China did since China has always been a superpower.
