In Chinese language there is a combo, 矛盾, lit. “spear-shield”, meaning contradictory statements. It came from a similar story told by Han Fei, but a couple of centuries earlier than Greek example had been crafted. The story goes as follows:

Among the Chu folk, there lived a man selling shields and spears. He praised the former saying, "My shields are so solid nothing can penetrate them". Then he would praise his spears saying, "My spears are so sharp that among all things there's nothing they can't penetrate". Somebody else said, "If somebody tried to penetrate your shields with your spears, what would happen?" The man could not respond.
