We are used to seeing things that are "Made In
China," but these industrious individuals from the Asian country took
that idea to a new level. Clever Chinese citizens have taken to creating
their own vehicles, aircrafts, submarines, and robots. Some seem kind of
bizarre, but you can't deny the impressive skill behind these inventors.
