China never became a sleeping giant; China was, in fact, isolated for most of their history, which is how they thrived. Confucianists believe that the merchant is a leech that gains profit from the works of the artisan and the like. Since the main Chinese religion has almost always been Confucianism, people believe that trading, just like the merchants that do it, is morally wrong; thus, they have not traded and maintained isolation for most of their history. However, the Chinese power was never asleep. China is a very efficient country, and although they kept to themselves for the majority of their history, they were always on guard.
