Interesting read.   More of a review of a recent book.  I do disagree with the criticism of China’s recent  policy failures.  “One child” and the covid failures seem less because of the Engineering Mentality of the leaders as much as good old totalitarian leadership.  One could easily imagine Mao making such decisions.  It also remains to be seen if China will turn out to be another “me too” story such as Japan in the 1980s.  Will China begin to lead and innovate?  This is the question for the 21st century.  From The Conversation.
