> Europe’s answer to China is always a committee, a regulation, a 5 year strategic plan and a press conference
> China’s answer to anything is ship it tomorrow and figure out the rest next week
Yes, god knows we'd never see the Chinese delivering 5 year strategic plans, and they're notably committee-averse.
A large part of China's success is they've been intentional about what they're doing - they've _had_ a strategy, whereas every time we consider that in the West, we're told that's a loser's bet and we need to just let the market do its thing.
