Why modern science was not born in China?

Why was modern science not born in China, or why was it born in the West? This is the "Joseph Lee problem". In the past, the basic idea of the study of the "Joseph Lee Dilemma" was that modern science was born in the Western civilization, but not in the Chinese civilization; comparing the Western civilization with the Chinese civilization, what the Chinese civilization lacked was the reason why the Chinese civilization did not birth the modern science. The problem with this line of thought is that it attributes the birth of modern science entirely to Western civilization and fails to see the role of other civilizations in the birth of modern science. After rethinking the "Joseph Lee Dilemma", the author comes to the following conclusion: modern science is not only a product of Western civilization, but also a result of the interaction between Eastern and Western civilizations. That is to say, without Western civilization, modern science could not be born; without Eastern civilization, modern science could not be born. However, when and where this fusion is realized is determined by two factors: one is inevitable and the other is accidental. Modern science in the West combines both inevitable and accidental factors, and therefore modern science was born in the West.
