Ancient Rome, responding to your poast:

“Maybe it’s my fault. Maybe I made you think our imperial majesty was built on flash and not fire. That my highlights started on the battlefield, and not the strength of our people, economy, virtue. That our history was built on pomp and not endurance. That our reign of 1,000 plus years was the product of luck and not resilience and ingenuity. Maybe it’s my fault. Or maybe, you’re just making excuses.”

The example directly contradicts your claim unless you are making "civilization" so broad that your claim becomes unfalsifiable (for instance if you just mean "some cultural traditions continued afterward).

Chinks do this all the time to try to suggest greater civilizational continuity than actually existed. They elide numerous time periods and often competing states. They have nothing approaching what was done with Rome, Great Britain, and now the American Imperium. And they need to be called out about it mercilessly.

They are just defining everything that ever happened in that region as "china". It's the same as if you just said "european civilization has unbroken continuity" then pointed to rome and greece.

Correct. And it’s important to maintain the western prerogative to continuously vociferously remind them of this when they try to hand wave “Chinese Civilization.” Ideally we should do these lectures from bases as close to their mainland as possible.

The Chinese writing system was developed specifically because Chinese people have always spoken a multitude of languages, and they needed a writing system that was universally intelligible.

No it isn't, because you can't pick up an old Roman scroll and read it without extensive training, whereas Chinese people living today can read Confucius without assistance. Big difference!

It isn't true to begin with. Oracle bone chinese takes even more training to learn to decipher than roman cursive, and even experts still can't agree on all of it (or much of it can't decipher at all). At least moderns can read Roman capitals with no training. He is probably comparing a modern typeset version of confuscius with a Roman papyrus. Also even if any of it were true it doesn't establish civilizational continuity.

If this was true it'd be a massive self-pwn anyway. If a civilization with thousands of years of continuity and a massive headstart on the west kept getting it's shit pushed in by successive western upstart civilizatios, then that civilization must be SPS.

China is an ancient civilization with more than 4000 years’ history. It has gone through the flourishing age for many times. For example, the Benign Administration of the Cheng-Kang Reign Period (Cheng Kang Zhi Zhi) in the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Benign Administration of Wenjing Reign Period (Wen Jing Zhi Zhi) in Western Han Dynasty, the Benign Administration of Zhenguan Reign Period (Zhen Guan Zhi Zhi) in Tang Dynasty, the Benign Administration of the Kang-Qian Reign Period (Kang Qian Zhi Zhi) in Qing Dynasty. The standards of a flourishing age are national unity, national harmony, economic prosperity, people's prosperity, political openness, rule of law, cultural prosperity, academic progress and so on.
