IMHO, many of China's problems with developing economics and industry compared to the West had a lot to do with the class structure of Ancient China. Even as late as the Qing, the emperor and his bureaucrats dominated the system but most importantly artisans and merchants were seen as beneath even the peasantry. Very little attention and resources were given to these artisans to build or invent things or merchants to start new businesses. Confucian morals and Bureaucratic policies were seen as the utmost importance.

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.

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.

And this is supposed to be a counter to BRI. A $20 billion p̶r̶o̶j̶e̶c̶t̶ plan to counter a trillion dollar BRI investment. That's what you get when Arabic soft power hires pajeet contractors.

Nope, that is false. Mathematics, which is one of the core tenets of industrialization, in China reached its peak during the Yuan. However, the Ming would later axe a huge chunk of it because it was "Mongol-derived", and the Ming was focused more on using abacuses (the precursors to calculators) to do math. The Qing would later try to recover the lost mathematics during the Kangxi and Qianlong eras.

Xenophobia was another side effect/blow back of foreign domination. So you actually supported by assertion. Note dynasties previous to Ming has no problem adopting foreign advances, such as Arab navigation.
