I don't know Chinese history well either, but apparently there were a few times when they were on the verge of an industrial revolution, with working steam engines and other similar devices. However, lack of interest by the government resulted in this not taking off, as far as I'm aware.

The Chinese government has never been known for being innovative or nice; The authoritarians in power today are as good a government as China will ever have.

Possibly. As I said, I know very little about China's history. This map was, in fact, created for a map contest with a topic "Early industrial revolution in China" or something like that.

I always liked the idea of a Song IR. Now I want to see what this world looks like a couple hundred years on...
Awesome work on the map, BTW.
