Even though early Chinese philosophers recognized the value of individual freedom, for most of China's history, the nation didn't have it. China was normally dominated by oppressive regimes that stifled social and economic freedom. As a result, their early inventions didn't develop as they did in the west. When gunpowder finally reached Europe (which was divided into many states all competing with one another), it led to a chain of continually evolving fireams. Arquebuses, muskets, rifles, shotguns, hand guns, revolvers, repeating rifles, semi-automatic firearms, automatic weapons. All becoming cheaper and cheaper so ordinary citizens could afford them, not just armies.
