The Evolution of Planning in China

I think that China is probably best understood as a modernist country. The question is how long does modernism last? Is it possible to perpetuate it indefinitely? Can we plan beyond one's own life in any effective way? I want to go from this to digging into how we deal with, you know, one thing you talked about was the US not doing a very good job at planning. We don't start projects at last multiple generations. We cannot plan more than 30 years ahead even. It has to do with our future changing faster than our models of the future change. And I think that's probably the reason why our elites lost the plot.
