Imperial China during the Ming dynasty (1368-1644 CE) could conceivably have started the
Scientific Revolution before Europe; its failure to do so might have resulted (at least in part) from
each of the following factors except:
Chinese colleges were under Imperial control, not independently-chartered as in Europe
military expenditures were diverted from ship-building to land-based armed forces
foreign trade was dominated by the Imperial Navy, with no profit motive for merchants
European sailing vessels of that time were much larger than Chinese treasure ships
Chinese religion was polytheistic, while the central government at that time was strong
