Detailed Solution

The given statement is false.
The earliest print technology was created in China. This method of printing was done by hand. By rubbing paper against the inked woodblock surface, books were produced in China starting in AD 594. Long before the invention of the modern printing press, China was an imperial power. China had a massive bureaucracy that hired new employees by having them pass civil service exams. Under the patronage of the imperial state, a sizable number of textbooks were printed for this exam. The number of test takers increased in the sixteenth century, leading to more print being produced.
The correct statement would be, China was the major producer of printed material for a long time.
