i have often seen it claimed that a major reason for Chinese stagnation in technological growth is because it was dominated by one dynasty who could order new technologies stamped out.

Could a possible solution to this be an influx of a new religion such as Islam or maybe an internal split with Buddhism, that could divide the country and therefore lead to more innovation

I don't know much on the subject apologies if this is stupid but I haven't Seen any threads on this subject.
