Abstract: Abstract National enthusiasm for and consent regarding national development are the driving forces of economic growth. Asia’s passion for development is the result of a long period of incessant invasion and exploitation by foreign forces, starting with the Mongol conquest in the thirteenth century. When the heterogeneous Mongol tribe destroyed the Chinese Sung dynasty and conquered neighbouring countries, the independent vitality of the mainly agricultural Asian society was temporarily depleted. Inside the apparently strong empire constructed by the Mongol tribe, indigenous agricultural tribes were being exploited and oppressed, and lost their desire to create.
