33 Pics of China’s New Year Celebrations Putting Us to Shame

In the second century B.C., China invented fireworks and they won’t let us forget it. 

Okay, we get it, how many more years in a row do you need to put on stunning pyrotechnic displays that bring tears to our eyes? The US doesn’t stand a chance – how is my neighbor who likes setting off bottle rockets in the backyard supposed to compete with 2,000+ years of experience. 

And in recent years China has started putting on massive 3D light shows in the sky using drones. All we have are these boring UFOs flying around New Jersey.

It truly is the Chinese century.
