    Roman empire fell in 476 CE while the last Chinese dynasty ended in 1911 (Qin dynasty started from 221 BCE and ended with Qing dynasty in 1911).

    If you are referring to the civilization, China has a longer culture and civilisation as it is one of the 4 early civilisations of the world.

    What about the Byzantine Empire(eastern part of the roman empire)??

    *Referring to older questions of yours:

    I really don't see the need for comparisons since you already seem to know the answers and you have made a lot of questions in a similar manner...

    For example, you asked a lot of questions about ancient greece and china like they are rivals and who is the better one...

    You also said that western society did horrible things hating on ancient greece and europe in general..

    Don't get me wrong, it's good for one to be proud of his nation history but there is no reason for us to promote rivalry, down-voting comments that favor the other side and blatantly saying that one is superior to the other.

    And for your information: The Chinese President Xi Jinping said that Greece is the friendliest and most reliable country in Europe to China and bilateral relations are excellent.

    You sound like you want to change that one.... We already have western Europe hating on us, we really don't need China too.
