They have the nature to be hardworking to strive for profit therefore Its not about the technology that driven them it is mainly profit. Basically anything that could make profit for them will be taken into their target despite that it is a nontech things or such.
If you would to compare A and B which A is a rubbish and B is the future technology then whichever could get them a profit would be their choice despite that it is a rubbish or a future technology
But this is what anybody in another culture does. That is not solely just for theirs.
If something is not done for a profit then why would anyone
do it, for free?

I dont exactly get what you are trying to say but you do need to read that I dont even understand what do you mean about the words "do" / "did" and such, wonder what it means
Some people values technology and it is not about solely making profit from it but for the chinese things are different because what they need is not a technology but how to get profit , basically this means how to get profit even if it from rubbish and stuff
