In the early times India and China were at the forefront of technology and science. But somewhere between the 12th - 15th Century Chinese turned inward and discouraged interaction with foreigners. Europe experienced the Industrial revolution and China missed the bus.
Recently China woke up to the benefits of industrialization and caught up to become the manufacturer to the world.
The west has again experienced a knowledge revolution and China is again up to its tactics of blocking the internet, Google etc.
Are they not doing the same mistake again? It was possible then to catch on with manufacturing but will it be equally easy with knowledge...I wonder.
