> Japan and Korea have collectivist cultures and made that leap in the past 50 years. Singapore has an authoritarian government and also managed the leap.
Japan and South Korea are both democratic republics. South Korea's economic seemed to transform overnight, once they transitioned from a dictatorship into a democratic republic. Like it or not, the lack of free speech has an economic cost.

Isn't Singapore more or less a democratic republic now? Singapore is also able to mitigate their own lack of creativity with immigration. I do not believe China has the same views regarding foreigners. I view Singapore more as an Asian Switzerland than a tech leader anyways. I also do not believe that Singapore's leaders believe in Mao style centralist control (of the economy at least)
> Has China gotten to that point yet for planes? No, they clearly just started.
They've been copying Russian aircraft for a while now. They haven't "just started".
Before Xi, China was slowly moving in the right direction for global dominance. China under Xi is moving backwards.
