It'll probably be rather quick TBH
lore - im not saying its not with artificial crutches
They havent caught up in the past century and we’ve been there for that long, I doubt collapsing China could bring them up to speed
China had very little outside intervention by European powers for most of the time that it was a thing, and still managed to only be a few centuries behind
(likely because it wasn't a bunch of fucking tribes at that point, and hadn't been a bunch of fucking tribes for over a thousand years)
and once they started trading with europeans... it only took them a few years to catch up and have trains and modern military and large trading ports etc
sorry thats more for japan than chine *
Hell, Japan was fucking behind SO fucking much
china*
they had like...16th century guns in the 19th century?
FUCK KROGAN GOT BANNED
Whomstvnt?
and after a total of like....50 years (so by like...1900-1915), they had a more powerful Navy than China
Ok
(utterly curbstomping them in the First Sino-Japanese War, to the extent that they pretty much BROKE China for a decades to come)
Ok
Hahahaahahahahahahahhahahhaahahahah, no. I’m asexual
No science to back that up
Science isn't required
Try again sweetie
Only my word.
Asexuality isn't the normal state of a human or animal
therefore, mental illness
Again, no science
animals have an innate desire to fuck and procreate
I’m off my break, so goodbye!
(it's literally hardwired into them)
>break
>like 2 minutes
Jesus, where are you, China?
It was 30

lore - btw talking about the japan-china thing made me thing about the rome-carthage thing... where rome had literally no navy... and carthage had the largest navy in the med... in a period of 2 years (After stealing a ship from carthage) rome took the fuck over
Yeah
It really depends on how determined a country is to advance
and if they can skip the r&d part and go straight to production (as japan did... as rome did)
