3000 years is about how long China existed as a state that passed from one dynasty to another in recorded history. 7000 years is how old the civilization is according to archeological digs, though for a long time they thought it's 5000 years, so 5000 kinda got stuck as a catchphrase. But yeah, pulling the age card as a comeback is pretty lame sometimes.
