dumbass mfs talking pretentiously like they're so deeply inspired by scifi this is literally a plot line from one of the most famous scifi books ever you're supposed to try and understand the words when you read them
Of course, being an Anglo (though very open-minded), and for plot reasons, Neal needed the Chinese to be dependent on an Anglo genius to invent the Seed. This part is somewhat blunted in our reality due to them having learned mafs.
