Technology didn't stagnate entirely during the Ming and Qing, even though it was not industrialization. Improvements in agricultural techniques led to increased food production and a population boom in Ming. That's the thing in pre-industrial times for both East and West: advances in tech didn't increase the standard of living for the peasant so much as result in more peasants.

Can claim rape later when cops show up. She probably didn't realize the whole incident was being recorded.
All I've ever seen come out of India is plans, plans, and more plans. Yet hardly anything ever appears in reality. Big hype on Tesla, but nothing happened in reality. Big hype on India-Iran-Afghanistan-CAS corridor, but nothing happened in reality. And now we have the dumbest plan of the ages - the IMEC - consisting of India, which is neither a major importer from nor exporter to Europe, wanting to ship the imaginary goods from India by sea to Dubai where they will be offloaded and put on rail through multiple countries and warzone to Haifa to be loaded again onto ships to Europe.

Deploying potential nuclear missiles that can hit Russia (nobody knows the real ranges of these missiles) - what can possibly go wrong?
Well, this happens when China is the only country in the world that makes this kind of cranes.

Its never too late to hold CIA accountable for its bioviruses
Once again its projection as always, they are telling us what they fear, that China and the rest of the world will someday soon hold them to account for what really happened
Really. During Song mercantile and manufacturing account for a large portion of state revenue. You are telling me that at that time merchants are seen as beneath peasantry? The fact is each dynasty is different, so you cannot really generalize that way. Mongolian Yuan favors merchants, while look down on peasants. Ming is opposite, perhaps due to backlash. Even on the top, there are change of political influence of nobility, bureaucrats, and emperor -- during reign of weak emperor, bureaucrats may actually the ones who is in charge.
This to me seems to be a justification of why China destined to be behind rather than a temporary setback due to circumstances.
