That's false, the Chinese did not invent gunpowder at 850 B.C. Chinese invented gunpowder around 9th-century and according to Thoughtco, Kallie Szczepanski wrote, "The invention of gunpowder by Tang Dynasty Chinese alchemists, around 850 A.D. led to military applications in China and eventually around the world."
