China's young, hyper-adaptive population is its secret weapon for fast innovation.

- In the 30 years from 1990 through 2019, the per-capita GDP growth in the United States was 2.7 times. In China, it was 32 times.
The Harvard Business Review concludes that the shocking transformations across all aspects of Chinese life have prepared its population to adapt to sudden change better than in any other country. Consider: for the 700 million Chinese citizens under the age of 40, all they have experienced is an economy that has boomed at 12 times the global average. In their lifetimes, China went from 75% rural, and where most of the rural population lacked even electricity and refrigeration, to two-thirds urban and modern. Automobiles went from fewer than 5 million to nearly 300 million. China poured more concrete in just three years, than the United States did in the entire 20th century.
For these 700 million Chinese, how did all this affect their view of progress? Of what is possible? Of what industry and universities and government and business can do?
And with respect to innovation, is it possible that we need new measurements of innovation? In the US and Europe, we tend to view a technological innovation as a great idea that can propel a company or an industry in a new direction over time; in China, the innovations are immediate, population-wide, and become permanent features of life.

In fact, Western media always look at the wind direction and say things from a Western point of view that only benefits the West, never China. Likewise, here are what the New York Times and the New York Post said over the years:

Dude, we have 6000 years of experience !
China is the longest surviving civilization. it reinvented itself 3-4 times in its long continuous history. name me another country.
The last 40 years are very much unique in human history, let alone Chinese history.
only those in the Huang Ho river valley.
1. Harvards study can be summed up by "CPC was right all along".
2. This channel deserves much more views
1. So funny 😂 made my day. Yes but they only dare say the opposite.
But they don't know how to implement those right policies. It's like what jake sullivan said, that he admits neoliberal capitalism is what is causing the US's decline but his prescription is more neoliberalism and more empire building instead of looking at why China is succeeding and suggesting the right policies.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂 and yes, but TH-cam algorithm probably doesn't want to show it
Hear! Hear!
Have you been to DuJiangYan?
Here is a massive hydraulic engineering project using manual labour. This was completed 2400+ years ago, without heavy machinery. If that doesn't show innovation from at least 2400 years ago, I don't know what will.
Oh, it is still working now!

Why was China erased from Western memory
The remarkable history of Chinese invention - Why was China erased from Western memory?
Article by 龙信明
Introduction
Joseph Needham was an English medical doctor and biologist, teaching in England in the 1930s. By an accident of fate he acquired some Chinese students, and was intrigued to hear their claims of so many medical and scientific discoveries having originated in China, rather than in the West.
Needham became fully fluent in Chinese, and eventually moved to China in 1942 to investigate these claims and to research the entire history of Chinese invention. That work led to an astonishing voyage of historical discovery.
Needham originally planned to write a book cataloguing Chinese inventions, but his first volume barely scratched the surface of his subject. He slowly gatherred many of his students into this enterprise, and they eventually wrote a collection of 26 books, to catalog the history of Chinese discovery.
Myth and Misrepresentation
It leaves one speechless to learn the vast extent of things invented by the Chinese many hundreds of years, and often several millennia, before they appeared in the West
MySingaporeBlogSpot
Yes, I was there in Sichuan....
DuJiangYen is a marvelous piece of Hydrological engineering. It was modified over 4 dynasties. However we do not know if it was trial and error (like the medieval cathedrals) and had to be continually modified by successive generations or was the masterplan of a Chinese engineer,
Astonishing. I'm literally amazed..Finally the western world is starting to recognise what is too obvious.
Coming to UK from China must feel like stepping back in time by 50 years
Are you kidding? Back in time by 50 years? By UK standard? And what is that? Dinasour time?
if u coming back from india, u will feel like stepping back in time by 100 years. that’s how advanced my country india
@@user-vp6vf8wm2s what that we are a nation rather than a series of fiefdoms governed by one's Hukou. Because we have a social welfare system that China does not have . Because our buildings and transport are adapted to use by the handicapped. Because we do not have to wait for an hour in a bank to get a simple job done while they fill in form after form.
We do not have wepay and Alipay but we have a faster method, Our transport system is old and slower but that is because we invented them over a hundred years ago. Our buildings are old but that is because ours are built to last and we value them. Our rural villages and towns are more modern than China;s and more picturesque, and our universities still rank among the highest in the world Our culture is on a par with any. Our rivers are less polluted. Our wildlife is not confined to remote areas, Our rivers and lakes teem with wild fowl, Our gardens attract many species of birds and insect. the fact that we have gardens rather than a balcony high up in the air is better for me.
So true. There is no comparison to the advancement of China.
Still in a rabbit hole?
I was in China around 1985 visiting Shanghai, Guangzhou and my home village in Guangdong. All the old pictures are familiar to me. I want to return and be blown away with the changes into the future of the world. Cheers from Edmonton Alberta.
where is it?
I got my surgery training in Edmonton and worked at the U of A from 1982-1991. Edmonton is a great place, one of my home cities.

Let’s say it this way. Would any sensible human being even listen to Joe, or Donald. For more than 5 seconds. It’s literally a clown show. Entire world is destroyed by them. We can’t do that no more ! Nations are defined by leadership.
but The fact that they got elected 100% reflects how good/bad the general population are.
@@danielli9167 Exactly. That’s the whole point. But there are multiple scenarios. American population is indifferent politically. Those at top are just keeping them alive ! Massive illegal migration for undocumented cheap labor. And we say Democrats fought for abolishing slavery lol! In civil war. While they are no different to South. Aren’t American born kids not capable of Coding or working for Intel. It was all deliberate ! Now these Mega rich aren’t American. Indian. Korean. Chinese who built their lives of 90, 2000, digital revolution.
@@kibakobo I have lived in this country for a long time. The stupidity of the general population have nothing to do with any kind of immigration. I have worked and dealt with people whose family have been in this country for generations. They are lazy and have no drive to get better and no desire to get an education. The whole education system was screwed up. High school graduates can not read, calculate, or do reasoning. You got a justice system that cost a lot money and does not work... You get a society with its social and moral values decay rapidly. People in such a society can not tell the difference between right and wrong... or they do not want to.
I couldn't agree more
A lot of Americans do.
When i was a kid (in the 80s), my grandma used to sent money back to her brothers in China, around USD150 a year. That considered a big money for the family.
And today, her brothers family own 2 mega factories in southen China....all this happened within 1 generation. That's how fast they have changed.
Greetings, impressive data, I think that in the West we still cannot understand the magnitude of the fantastic (I think unmatched) development of China.
Great videos Kevin - Jeffrey Sachs recently made a video in Ethiopia where he was describing Chinese growth - he was in China every year since 1981 on various business trips... And he describes this exact 30X growth rate and how China is now helping Africa and much of the Global South to do that same 30X growth rate over the next few decades.
These are hard times if you are westerner - but these are great times ahead if you are from the Global South and almost any developing nation. Any westerner that has a decade remaining in their careers - if they have noble positive experience in innovation and management - go east, go south. You will be welcomed - but only if you are humble and go there to help. The American exceptionalism attitude will not be welcome. And Klaus Schwab - focused on killing consumption and production and all this green BS - they want to stop China, Africa and the Global South from growth - not happening.
This is going to have a brain drain effect on the west.
Due to anti China policies and the harassment of Chinese students at the customs at the airports, Chinese students no longer study in the US and many Chinese scientists and engineers are leaving the US .
Your humility is much appreciated. But sadly, you are a minority in the West.
China's global innovation edge is that it invented many of the very things that made the modern world possible, that helped create a global culture: paper, printing, gunpowder, the compass, paper money, movable type, cannons, guns, blast furnace, cast iron, mechanical clock, seed drill, trip hammer, deep drilling, process for mass producing steel, the rudder, bulkheads, linear algebra, etc. The first four were so pivotal that the West itself called these inventions - paper, printing, gunpowder, and the compass - the 'Cardinal Inventions' which Enlightenment philosopher Francis Bacon noted had changed the world in profound ways but whose origins were obscure. The Industrial Revolution itself was fueled (pun intended) by Chinese inventions like deep drilling (the Chinese were the first to drill for fossil fuels, over 2000 years ago) and the blast furnace and steel mass production processes. Western writers like those who contribute to HBR ignore all this because they want to think that their ancestors were solely responsible for this modern world and that China is merely copying. And now that China is innovating, they want to simply attribute this to 'ability to adapt to rapid change' rather than admit the much simpler truth that the Chinese have been innovating for millennia and that we are all the beneficiaries.
Exactly. Spot on.
Some jąc ąrșê online says he doubts China invented anything in the past and claims China copied those too. Like Einstein says, human stupidity is unlimited
And how it comes that the west was industrialized at a time when China was still a land of illetarate farmers? Seems to me the part the of the world innovating was far away from there. But I guess this is the new narrative now: China all along was (as you said) solely responsible for this modern world. Or maybe not really
@@adrian9098 First off, it's kinda funny that someone who speaks of illiterate farmers cannot even spell 'illetarate' right - it's 'illiterate', FYI ;). So I'm not surprised that you see things in blunt, black and white terms. Never said that China was "solely" responsible for the modern world; whenever anyone, like me, points out that China contributed far more than it's given credit for, people like you take umbrage and panic, making things black and white. It could be that everyone innovated at one time or another - which is the case. Nor was China a land of illiterate farmers when the West tried to colonize it: its government was still run by its massive civil service examination system (which Ben Franklin praised), choosing a select few from tens of thousands of well-educated prospects - a system copied by the British in the 1850s (The Trevelyan-Northcote proposal). China was also, at the time, occupied by the Manchus, a Northern tribal people, so it was unable to industrialize on the scale of, say the Japanese, who then overran the country. At any rate, no one debates the fact that the Chinese inventions I mentioned underpin the modern world. To take just two, the deep drilling rigs built in the late 1800s were essentially identical to Chinese ones, and the steelmaking process the Bessemer promoted - that jumpstarted industrialization - can be traced to Chinese workers he employed.
@@joeyp1927 Boom! You roasted him with facts and knowledge. No contest!
It turns out Harvard is a lot of BS. Looks at all their graduates. How much innovation have Harvard made. Huawei is really doing what the US preached but don't do. They let the smart people do whatever they wanted. Father of rice in China created high-yield hybrid rice that can feed tens of millions of people annually. And then you have mother of China semi-conductor, father of China navy, etc. They have started many many programs without US help on their own. And US hostility nowadays is actually helping China to retain many of its talents and attract talents from Russia, Middle East and Africa.
All the Chinese professors that taught in major Western Universities have been gone back home.
HBS professor Francesca Gino is a perfect example of Harvard fakery: serial plagiarist exposed, now the school wants to fire her. Before her, Claudine Gay, newly elected president, exposed as serial plagiarist. Resigns but continues to infect, er, I mean, teach students.
Harvard is not the problem. The problem is the predatory capitalists who only care about what's good for themselves.
@@themiddlekingdom9121 Probably not all but many did leave. Why stay in a country that is hostile to you. 40% of America’s high-quality scientific papers involve international collaborations, and China is the #1 partner in producing scientific research. Even before the China imitative in 2018, Chinese are often scrutinized. But it is downright hostile and dangerous nowadays. coincidentally China finally surpassed the U.S. in its output of top-cited scientific publications in 2020.

the products and services offered to the chinese citizens are competitive and will not sink you in debt like the usa. china's food, cars and clothing are not expensive but competitively price as for usa everything is costly as in car purhcases, foods and housing. the real debt trap is usa not china and the usa calls china's loans a debt trap, the nerve and hypocrisy of this nation
How right you are
The elites know repetitive lies propagated thru the controlled media can make many believe as truths. Propagated lies can generate fear and hate to justify aggression and war too.
it depends on one's income as to what is expensive. certainly, housing is expensive in China for the average Chinese unless you have public housing.
@@georgesibley7152 No, expensive housing is usually concentrated in megacities. In some places in northeast China, you can buy a whole property of about 50 or 60 square meters for 20,000 yuan.
@@wynterwei9628 it is not. just in megacities. wich are higher than elsewhere Compared to the average wage Housing in Wuhan where I live is expensive. However if one was on the outskirts like Panlong Cheng it is cheap.
Although of course one only gets a bare shell and you have to factor in the cost of fitting it out.
I know that in the countryside and places, where Jobs are not so plentiful, are cheap, just as they are in Britain,
It's a shock to people living there too. But the younger ones got used to it and the mindset is that change can be good. They start to embrace change instead of resisting it.
Yes, its the ability to accept and adapt to change.
not only .. "what would these transformations do to how the Chinese think?" .. but also .. These transformations are due to _how_ the Chinese think. An emergent evolving process on thought of capability.

The reality is that people like you with lived experience are not believed... the CCP must be paying you!
The other reality is that the "modern" western world does not like the fact that China has overtaken them in so many areas.

It should be noted that your comment about the younger generation, the millennials and Gen Z of China not knowing what China was like back in the 80s and 90s works not just in how the transition of China shaped them, but also how they are less bounded by the traditions and rules laid down by the older generation especially in foreign policies.
In the past, Deng Xiaoping said China needs to lie low, bide their time to become strong so they can achieve industrialization in relative peace. This is indisputably accomplished with magnificent results from the central planning of the CPC, the Marxist Leninist socialism with Chinese Characteristics. The younger generation has grown up in this hyper paced transformation, this is a generation that is not only hopeful, innovative, highly educated, they are also proud of their country's achievements and its growing power. They will demand respect and the appropriate attitude confers to a superpower.
The US provoking China and that China has not responded decisively in something big to knock the US out is still because of Deng's era of restrain. I think this culture of restrain is slowly going away and why shouldn't it go away. But the political environment in China is very vibrant and the people are smart enough to understand Deng's restrain. But I can tell everyone one thing, if China is going to take a shot at the king, they won't miss and the US will reap what it sowed.
I remember when I started working in Shenzhen in 2006, the roads were horrible. Our accounting department had to go to the government departments, banks, etc... and line up for like an hour. Now they get everything done on the computer and phone. Many of our staff have good cars like Carola or a BYD. These things were unthinkable 15 years ago
Great China 🇨🇳 ever ❤great 👍 in the world 🌍
I worked as a computer engineer for some of the biggest and most prestigous and leading Aviation and HiTech companies in the US for 40 years. This is my own experience, and I accept that many of you may have completely different experience. My colleagues were mostly chinese either from china or from other parts of SE Asia or first generation US born Chinese. They were very capable and innovative engineers, at the top of their trades. I was very impressed. I expect those engineers in china are no difference in quality from these engineers I worked with in 40 years. There are just more of them in China.
And I bet non of the managers are Chinese. This is the so called "glass ceiling". Keep management white.
Same for the semiconductor companies in the US, the last pearl of the crown.
except some real top student went to US for high education, most the Chinese students went abroad just because they cannot compete in China University entrance exam and had to pay lot of money to go abroad to get a "shining" diploma. Even with these level of students, they can still stay in US and get into big companies. Here in China nowadays, the "shining" diploma is no longer shining, unless it is from some really top universities. It's very hard for normal student study abroad and go back China to get a really good job.
You mean gold plated diplomas?
@@whirledpeas1663 yes, haha
What China has managed to achieve is just amazing. Another reason not to take those "publications" seriously.
China knows it’s important to learn how to crawl first before jumping straight to walking and running. So she can master every detail throughout the whole learning cycle for future improvements. A good example would be building the aircraft carriers from ski-jumps to catapult-assisted takeoff systems and from developing diesel engines powered aircraft carriers first before moving to nuclear-powered stage. China’s strategy is pretty straightforward, she just followed her own goals and timetables setup decades ago to move one step at a time. If you stop progressing, China will catch up eventually. If you don’t, you might still be ahead of China. By the way, sanctions on China would help China moves even faster on achieving self-sufficiency and self-reliance.
Harvard reminds me of Senator Tom Cotton who is a Harvard graduate. He asked a Singaporean if he was a member of the Chinese communist party and more.

The Western version of innovations are driven by curiosity (for science) and greed (for business). Both are not readily available in poor countries when filling stomachs is daily struggle. Now, 90% of American are struggling with basic living needs and leave the innovations to the elite groups, engineers or businessmen. In China, the situation is quite different. Despite of much lower GDP per capita in China, the living cost is quite low. People have a good saving and have extra money to try new things. American had that kind of luxury 20 years ago.
I love the soft background audio, what gives you wisdom.

I lived through the 1990s and 2000s in Shanghai. Imagine, in the late 1990s, a Shanghainese colleague of mine told me he did not have modern toilet at home and he lived near Huai Hai road. If you have been to Shanghai, you would know Huai Hai road is the most modern, up-market part of Shanghai. The transformation during the last 30 years is absolutely mind boggling.
Look at the US Fortune 500 companies. Very small percentage are Harvard or Ivy League graduates! Innovation doesn’t come from legacy schools with legacy parents .
"24 Apr 2024 IDC: Chinese Smartphone Market Maintains its Recovery Momentum at 6.5% Growth in 1Q24, Honor and Huawei Tied for Top Spot"
Science/technology innovations comes hand-in-hand with industrial development. China comes late in the industry age and now China is picking up its speed. With this momentum, in the very near future, China will lead in innovations.
Many people associate innovation only as invention of something, like lightbulb. Innovation means doing something new that benefits society. If said innovation is not beneficial, people won't use it and it'll die out.

A great lesson in conceptual thinking and asthonishing to see the lack of this in people who think to be way smarter than everybody else. A nice illustration of the Dunning-Kruger effect.
There is a debate if Dunning-Kruger is real or just be a data artefact.
To me it does not matter what one calls it
👇
What is the Dunning-Kruger effect?
When we don't know enough to know what we don't know.
* So goes the reasoning behind the Dunning-Kruger effect, the inclination of unskilled or unknowledgeable people to overestimate their own competence.
LiveScience
👇
Why we overestimate our competence
Social psychologists are examining people's pattern of overlooking their own weaknesses.
Cross-cultural comparisons
Regardless of how pervasive the phenomenon is, it is clear from Dunning's and others' work that many Americans, at least sometimes and under some conditions, have a tendency to inflate their worth. It is interesting, therefore, to see the phenomenon's mirror opposite in another culture. In research comparing North American and East Asian self-assessments, Heine of the University of British Columbia finds that East Asians tend to underestimate their abilities, with an aim toward improving the self and getting along with others.
These differences are highlighted in a meta-analysis Heine is now completing of 70 studies that examine the degree of self-enhancement or self-criticism in China, Japan and Korea versus the United States and Canada. Sixty-nine of the 70 studies reveal significant differences between the two cultures in the degree to which individuals hold these tendencies, he finds.
In another article in the October 2001 Journal of Personality and Social Psychology (Vol. 81, No. 4), Heine's team looks more closely at how this occurs. First, Japanese and American participants performed a task at which they either succeeded or failed. Then they were timed as they worked on another version of the task. "The results made a symmetrical X," says Heine: Americans worked longer if they succeeded at the first task, while Japanese worked longer if they failed.
There are cultural, social and individual motives behind these tendencies, Heine and colleagues observe in a paper in the October 1999 Psychological Review (Vol. 106, No. 4). "As Western society becomes more individualistic, a successful life has come to be equated with having high self-esteem," Heine says. "Inflating one's sense of self creates positive emotions and feelings of self-efficacy, but the downside is that people don't really like self-enhancers very much."
Conversely,
East Asians' self-improving or self-critical stance helps them maintain their "face," or reputation, and as a result, their interpersonal network.
But the cost is they don't feel as good about themselves, he says. Because people in these cultures have different motivations, they make very different choices, Heine adds.
If Americans perceive they're not doing well at something, they'll look for something else to do instead. "If you're bad at volleyball, well fine, you won't play volleyball," as Heine puts it.
East Asians, though, view a poor performance as an invitation to try harder.
Interestingly, children in many cultures tend to overrate their abilities, perhaps because they lack objective feedback about their performance. For example, until about third grade, German youngsters generally overrate their academic achievement and class standing. This tendency declines as feedback in the form of letter grades begins. But researchers also have shown significant cross-cultural differences in youngsters' performance estimates--American children, it appears, are particularly prone to overestimate their competence.

When I spoke to one of my American colleagues, I was talking about how a Canadian rural railway I recently visited was about 80 years old.
His reaction was that 80-year-old rails way were considerably young, given that most of the North American rail ways were built over 100 years ago.

Innovation is not about creativity it's about inventivity. It's field tested creative ideas that give to the consumers the qualities of using a product. In Arts and Antertainments Creativity is the decisive factor for innovation, in Science and Technology it's Inventivity the decisive factor for innovation.

Agreed on your definition of innovation. Winning innovation competition is sometimes pointless, because the idea or product is too expensive to produce or not so useful in daily life. Moving into the future, people need their lifestyle to be improved so they can live better meaningfully and productively. Thankful for so many affordable modern things.
What is the sound in your back ground?
3:50 they alleviated their stature,
plain facts with insight, thnx!
vg video - point that they are living and seeing constant massive change is v. important. I wonder how life in the US compares - lotta roads, infrastructure getting if anything worse, no?
The report on Chinese made sonar was taken off?
Very interesting... where are we going from here?
It's the sense of superiority. If they have not done something so far, then they cannot do it, meaning they cannot do it in a hundred years. I wonder whether these "scholars" ever study history of development.
Things happen in sequence. You have to develop your human capital step by step. First you copy. Then you revise the product or production method to suit your condition better. Then you are rich enough to do research.
I am old enough to remember these people saying Japanese could not innovate. I wonder whether the British said the same thing about Germans or Americans in the late nineteenth century.
Thanks. Really interesting. Best wishes from collapsing UK!😂

Next 20 years will add aerospace, semi conductors, nuclear reactors... They graduate 20 000 engineers a year. Their dominance is inevitable. This isn't 1990 Japan
@@motheotsatsi644 you meant about 6 millions Stems Students graduate every year ;)
There are so many more on the list, where are the companies in optic valley in Wuhan?
@@yujuanhe720 just list the companies that are easier for people to remember.
Research selective as Russia and Vietnam should be second and third ahead of Poland.!Russia and Vietnam per capita GDP increases more than expected p fold. Only reason for exclusion as that would have shown so-called western authoritarian countries doing better than so-called western democracies.
I lived in beijing on 2005. I cant even have a nostalogic moment anymore when i go back to beijing, because everything has changed
Tom Cotton who could not differentiate the difference between a Singaporean and CCP is graduated from Harvard. I used to have immense respect to that university. Now I know the sort of IQ that university produces. So I would not pay too much attention to what their reports say.
Why is there background chatter on your videos?
Doesn't the number of patents help provide evidence of innovation rather then being "hyper-adoptive and hyper-adaptive consumers"?
Let's look at the numbers:
"According to a report from the National Science Foundation's National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics (NCSES)....inventors in China applied for roughly 68,600 patents in 2022 through the Patent Cooperation Treaty, which allows inventors to file across many countries at once"
"There were about 58,200 U.S.-based applications the same year - the most recent year for which the data has been compiled. " 🤔
China's growth resembles Japan's modernization from 1970- 1990. We all used to hear all these amazing things about Japanese manufacturing and productivity and how "Japan would overtake the West". The massive cooperation between government and companies. A lot of the "amazing statistics, from China", sounds exactly like Japan ,1985, and I use the word exactly , as I was studying science and technology policy at university.
Yes. Exactly similar until they self pawn by signing plaza accord. Submitting to US demand is their biggest blunder to neuter their own economy.
Since the last Harvard article, China has made the politicians in west even more uncomfortable with EVs and "over capacity" 😂
What’s that creepy audio in the background?
China people are earnest and diligent.
Thanks for the content. A total gross expenditure of 54 trillion USD in 2019 seemed a bit off to me, considering China's GDP is 17 trillion dollars as of 2023. Have a nice day.
Money transferred amount doesn’t mean GDP amount
😅 amazing facts and figures of information. ❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
be good
Great video straight to the point and so so true and sad for the US blame it on monopolies😊
China has been going beyond the patterns of innovation, such as the von Hippel model, the Langrish et al model, etc.
Since 2014, I stopped believing what HBR stated regardless whoever the author was, though I still read the articles therein just to see how BS-ish they could be, for sometimes it makes one wonder if HBR stands for "How BS Reproduces?"
So true
😮
Listening to these kind of presentations makes you open your mind, and realise what gvt really cares and cater for it's people. Forget about the freedom of speech speeches, the freedom of mvt speeches....all made in the si called democratic spaces.
All ordained by the Heavens just like Emperor's/Dynastic rule and the people who are led by them thousands of years ago. It's the whole system of governance, education, leadership etc. A country with good leadership flourishes and so does the country. And it does not matter what sort of political system, religion, race or how wealthy or poor one's country really is.
I am curious about how long have you been in China? Why you know so much?
OOHH Shooot! I thought China has collapsed! Thanks a lot, Gordon Chang!
China will collapse after many generations of Gordon changs. Actually he shouldn't reproduce.
All major innovations came from the eastern regions or empires for the past five thousand plus years and is it still happening today again?🤔
Has anyone else noticed the religious text being read out in the background audio? What is happening!!
What an astounding view of the night skyline of Shanghai!
To catch up you do need to copy and other means. That’s just human nature.
So what if Chinese were copying our successful aspects and neglect the side effects of that success. No biggie!
We did the same to catch up to the Europeans. And they did it to catch up to the Chinese, way back when.
The queen of England said tea tree planting were “spirited” over. And silk worm farming were “shared” over. And that’s among other things we copied, stole,,, etc, from China. Again, no biggie.
I’m looking at videos of India and Vietnam trying to copy from China’s success in manufacturing. I wonder if they’ll be successful?
❤👍👍👍👍👍👏🙏🔥😍❤️

If you begin at almost zero it’s not so difficult to get a S curve.
When the world welcomes the arrival of EVs and is anticipating in driving them, the Americans burn EVs. The United States has stopped progressing and is sliding downhill.
Imitation's one of the many processes that lead to innovation.
Chinese culture: business and money - money makes the world go round.
