I think you'll have to be a lot more concrete to make this claim particularly strong. What is a 'dead end' culture? How does that contrast with the problems in the West (and yes, especially those in the US)? How did China 'throw off' their shackles in a way different to Japan post WW2? What are the actual 5th century ideas in play?

Being therefore limited in its adaptive capacity, it is necessarily being phased out even in its homeland. I think you can educate yourself as to national histories in the 20th century. I am not going to get in to comparisons with the west.
