No it doesn't, we know way more about classical Greece than we do about pre-qin China.

>>2149776
>we

>more history

What does that even mean?

>>2149785
OK please point me to the treasure trove of history about the shang and early Zhou. Everything I've read about the pre warring States period concedes that documentation is scarce. Even pre-Mencius Confucianism is pretty suspect.

It does if OP is referring to everywhere in the map, including India, Southeast Asia, and East Asia, and by 'West' he means Western Europe and not Western Eurasia (which would include the whole of Europe, the Mediterranean and Middle East). Which is kind of a retarded comparison.

It's almost as if you grew up in the west

Grow up in China and its the same, almost, except for the fact that the Chinese are also taught western history so to them the world is a linked world where things happened everywhere.

The west has a very eurocentric education system.

Only in shitty schools. In good schools, you get history of the world in quite a detail.

>>2150003
We are taught Asian history as well. American history public education (I'm American, don't speak for op but figure he probably is) isn't Eurocentric. if anything it's europhobic. perhaps you could say it's western centric but that's more due being a western nation than some nefarious plot.

>This weak response

Step it up or go back to another board

>>2150015
He means the history we learn in the west is seen through a European viewpoint. Not that Europeans are seen as good/bad.

China is ok
What's more amazing is how Japan, a shitty outshoot of China is considered so important, fucking weebs I swear.

Have you ever stopped to think where you are?

>>2150363
Then what are you talking about?

>>2150350
Because it was historically important from the Edo period onward.

China is the Byzantium of the East.

Sure, it's old, but most of it is boring and esoteric

>China is the Eastern Roman Empire of the East
Really set fire to my brain cells.

No, Byzantium is the Byzantium of the East. China toppled its foreign conquerors. Byzancucks didn't

Only relevant places are China and Japan.

I like Japan more but China is like a world in of it'self where it has always seen the outside world as just some extension that is not really relevant to them.

The Manchurians became more rigid Confucians than the Hans. You basically just proved his point.

This has been true for a long time but since the 90s things have been changing, I think

I took AP World History in high school and we learned a fairly equal amount about everywhere in the globe up until the Age of Exploration, where things started to get more Eurocentric. I think that's reasonable.
