What has been written in parenthesis is most interesting : *but China was not inevitable*
Enjoying certain positive factors like a favorable geography or a large populstion is far to be enough.
What is of paramount importance for the reality of an *Everlasting Civilization* is a non negotiable epistemological factor :
THE CREATION, the CONTINUOUS EPISTEMOLOGICAL ENRICHMENT and THE PERPETUATION (renewal at each generation) of an open Devoted Aristocratic Oligarchy.
The open Devoted Aristocratic Oligarchy is the backbone of any Sovereign Civilizational State aka Nation-Empire-Civilization.
