Contrary to the emphasis on the control of nature in the Western view of technological development, the Chinese view of technological development aims at abiding by the laws of nature and maintaining harmony with nature. Harmony is hereby the direction of development, the moral principles and methodological norms of development, as well as the assurance of development.
