Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The application states that technological growth can exist in authoritarian institutions like China, but it may not be sustained. The government's ability to control economic policies and allocate resources can facilitate short-term technological gains, but long-term sustainability may be hindered by political factors such as lack of innovation, censorship and limited intellectual property protections.
