Agreed but my point was that the press needed a medium to imprint characters onto(not that other required things didn't come from elsewhere than China), its true vellum or something else could probably have been used, but paper it was

But yeah all science and technology is iterative, which is why the westoid mantra of 'China stole X technology' is so stupid, especially when so many technologies rely on base components(paper, gunpowder etc) that were invented/discovered in China(and of course those things themselves also iteratively built upon prior things some discovered elsewhere)
