what happened over the past several hundred years that has required them to catch up with the West

No. Not the Anglos this one.

Ming Dynasty to blame:
They closed the country for the outside world. By-passed the Industrial Revolution

Isolation to globalization
Failed to keep pace with the developments inside China society.

<<If Chinese culture is so superior, what happened over the past several hundred years that has required them to catch up with the West?>>

try asking a more difficult and meaningful question.

or try answer: sequence of collapse, hit rock bottom, and now, renaissance sequence, that is why no bubble.

the correct question to pose is, "how many cultures could have survived what the chinese culture survived, and then proceed to engage in a renaissance? point of destination as yet unknown but can be suspected by those with wisdom (which naturally excludes you, though i am trying to help you)"

the analogue question to ask of freedom hong kong is, "how many territories could have survived in very extremely good shape a hard-shut-in of its economy for 6 months and hardly felt a bump?"

please hamoon, learn something, and question why 11% gdp growth is so difficult to tame, and 17% retail growth must be tempered by shut-in of thousands of factories. question, instead of answer.

re sequence of collapse, as i had warned you back in 2000 Message 26755740 , it be a process, not an event, and yet you still refuse to take in my sharing of wisdom, and instead, choose to learn the hard way.

i illuminate salvation to you ... getgold.
