Quotes by Dan Wang (?)

“The United States used to be, like China, an engineering state. But in the 1960s, the priorities of elite lawyers took a sharp turn. As Americans grew alarmed by the unpleasant by-products of growth—environmental destruction, excessive highway construction, corporate interests above public interests—the focus of lawyers turned to litigation and regulation. The mission became to stop as many things as possible. As the United States lost its enthusiasm for engineers, China embraced engineering in all its dimensions.”

“Process knowledge is hard to measure because it exists mostly in people’s heads and the pattern of their relationships to other technical workers.”

“Sometimes, the only thing scarier than China’s problems are Beijing’s solutions. That is one of the defining characteristics of the engineering state. The Chinese government often resembles a crew of skilled firefighters who douse blazes they themselves ignited.”
