Ancient Greece vs China ,which one from the 2 great civilizations has influence the

Greece.

China has stuck to it's own region throughout much of it's time. The only occasion would be under Genghis and Kublai Khan, and then near the end of the Qing Dynasty.

The Modern World is the western World, and the western world brought us to the Americas.

I also tend to think, that between China, and India, India had the more influence between them. Being that India had relations with Persia, Egypt, and Greece. Giving a lot of Influence, mainly in Persia.
While the same is also true with India and China. When Buddhism swept China, a lot changed, and India was the middle factor between Greece, and China.
 
It depends on what side of the hemisphere you're on.

Without doubt, Greece has had more influence on Western civilization. But, from mid-Asia eastward, you have to give it to China. They have always had the dominant influence on that side of the world.
 
Undoubtedly, that would be the ancient Greeks. Our entire culture and basic way of life is based on the Roman-Greek philosophy. Aristotle was the father of logical thought and taught us that the task of the conscious is to "perceive" reality -- not to create it. We seem to be slipping back into the Dark times when Shamen and Witch Doctors told us what to believe based on their perception of reality. When our modern day Witch Doctors tell us that we are guilty of causing Global Warming and that our pets cause more damage to the ecology than SUVs. Reasonable people know this isn't true, yet so many people would rather believe something that sounds right, but don't use their minds for cognitave thinking.

Although China has contributed a lot to the world, especially in the art of warfare, they have little influence on the Western Culture as far as architecture, art, language, or music.
