The backward disadvantage
Yang pointed out that the "backward disadvantage" refers to the fact that it is easier for late-development countries to imitate technologies, but more difficult to imitate the system, because the reform will offend vested interests, although late developing countries can achieve rapid developments in the short term, but will leave hidden problems for long-term development.[6]
In 2002, in a lecture at the Tianze Economic Research Institute in Beijing,[7] Yang cited Watson's "curse of the late comer" to draw public attention to "backward disadvantages" in China's future social and economic development, which aroused strong reactions in Chinese and foreign academic circles.[8]
Background

Solution
Yang Xiaokai argues that in order to overcome the "backward disadvantages", the backward countries must first complete the reform of the republican constitutional system, and in order to obtain the "backward advantage" of technological imitation, they must first be good students of the successful system.[10]
