i argue that in the US, the private sectors actually lead the country and not the govrt. every 4 yrs we can have a new administration and the new administration can cancel the previous administration's orders. what we are seeing is the private sectors leading the way and a lot of time influence the govrt.
Tesla have effectively changed people's mind about the electrical car and move the auto industry and even govrt. to "green energy". you can also see it in the covid19 vaccine development. the private sectors step in to develop the vaccine and the govrt. remove a lot of barriers to speed up the process.
>Look at China's Belt and Road initiative, it's a 40 year, ambitious plan. Do we even have any serious 10 year plans? 5 year? And why not?
that required a authoritarian govrt and a president for life like Xi. Xi break the CCP's norm on the term limit and consolidated more powers onto himself than even Mao. that's kind of govrt that you needs in order to push for 40 years or even 10 year plans.
