China did not face Black Death. It had many more hands to work.

Had they continued we probably would be writing Chinese.

Being my anscestor from Iberian Peninsula the Chinese most likely would have landed there.

my opinion of some time has been that space is the final frontier, and at rmb 0.10 to the dollar, it is wide open for second chance, to refrain from making the same mistake as the ming emperor did

china's space program is quite ambitious, intends to be staffed, as opposed to being done by robots, and is quite imaginative. i have no reason to believe that any portion of it is beyond capability / capacity

as i watched their gold reform during the past 15 years, i watch their space efforts (some of it described in english on this site spacedaily.com )
