It is relevant for progress in the future, especially considering China is still 50 years behind the other world powers. Is there any reason why economic laws and theories would not apply in the future? You have anything empirically substantial behind that rather than mere moral opposition to what you consider different from the Chinese way (even though it is a social axiom).
I don't think the invention of the wheel was imported from China into Europe. Regardless, no one is denying Chinese influence. I don't see why a technology that travel through the normal process of culture exchange and trade mean anything anyways. What's being thankful to China?
What I posted here is what being said by MM Lee Kuan Yew who is well respected throughout the world especially in asia. Whatever he says has certain amount of truth in it but also depends on how you want to intrepret with it as well. China being 50 years behind developed countries is a widely known phenomenon even among the chinese people. It is a no brainer for you to specifically point it out over here. What you failed to figure out is that even at that low technological knowledge they have compared to developed countries, they still could produce more than 60 percent of goods to this world. What's not if they are as advance technologically as japan and USA.

Another matter. Whether you be thankful to China, your country, your neighbourhood, your teacher, your mother, your father does not bother me. What you think does not hold any weight to me nor to this world
