DrBob, 🧠 MechanicBreakneck: China's Quest to Engineer the Future
“The simplest idea I present is that China is an engineering state, which brings a sledgehammer to problems both physical and social, in contrast with #America’s lawyerly society, which brings a gavel to block almost everything, good and bad”
As a result, #China prioritizes building colossal public works and exportable products, while the US excels at making and enforcing rules. “What we have in the US is #Authoritarianism without the good stuff,” Wang says, arguing that the disconnect is a recipe for lost #Superpower status.
