Yes China seems to have a very long term perspective with their five year plans that they seem to take very seriously.

Couple that with the treatment China received in the Opium Wars, Rape of Nanking, etc.

I type on computers for a living so take it with a grain of salt. But it seems to me China was on top technologically for thousands of years. Then they suffered humiliations for hundreds of years. And I think they’re done with that.



They were neck and neck with other civilizations but they certainly weren't "on top" unless you only read Chinese history books.
