Why I have no projects?

I'm playing as china in 1898 with a liberal party (they have protectionism and interventionism while conservatives don't), and I have enabled that capitalists can start projects, I have their life needs covered, no tariffs and enough space to open new factories, but they won't start any project and I can't build factories, so most parts I have good and large factories, but I got a province with a lot of population but I can't open new factories, how can I get the capitalists to do their job?

1890-1895 China --->Nationalist China

This time I was able to make a lot of progress

First of all I was able to take Nepal into my sphere, as well as Malaysia, also I took Bulgaria as a puppet, I expanded my army and even navy (this last one is like very primitive but it works), and last but most important is I was able to take japnese territory

First I started preparing a CB against Japan, in the meantime I started taking Nepal, moved the recently trained armies to the north to prepare an invasion to Shakhalin, and also gained core in all manchuria.

After preparing the army and getting the CB I declared war and called germany, all my puppets, thailand, nepal and Egypt, then the ottomans declared war on egypt, I called germany, austria and Irna to that war, but after 1 year Italy started attacking austria, called germany to help

In japan we were doing defensive battles, mostly forcing them to cross the sea and then killing them, after that we took the island, but japan sent over 300k men vs 90k men I had there, I needed to draw back my army there, I lost a lot of organization, but japan lost more men

Also with the ottomans started to lose, even giving constantinople, and germany could move their troops to the italian front, also my allies started to take the japanese islands in the south, and in the North the japanese needed to move their troops to support in the south

After 2 years the ottomans gave us Bulgaria, after two months the Italian accepted a white peace, and I could advance even to hokaido, and after some months Japan surrendered

We reclaimed Shakhalin and started to take a lot of decisions and we are now aiming for mass politics, also we are supporting Malaysia witht their independence war

Now with the history:

With the Eastern Islands taking more and more power, the "Di'er Dao Changcheng" has a large gap to close, they have our territory at their mercy, our ports, our coasts, our people, we need to do something

The Emperor started moving, we needed an excuse to make them crumble before, with our army expanding we moved our newly trained troops to the zones where we could cross to the islands

We found the perfect excuse, there was an increase of japanese pirates, we found out they were mercenaries of japanese landlords to assault korean ships

The war begun and our troops defended our coasts in manchuria, the defense was very effective, and even crossed to shakhalin, but while we were doing that our egyptian ally was being attacked by the ottomans, we called the germans and the austrians to help them

Meanwhile our army in Shakhalin was being destroyed, so we draw back, after recovering and some japanese attacks we took shakhalin again

The ottomans started to lose territory in the balkans, so our goal with that war changed into freeing the largest country there, Bulgaria, a powerful ally, but the Italian kingdom went to war to get the italian territories controlled by austria

The germans and austrians needed to keep all their armies in europe, we stayed in the same situation for over 1 year, with large battles in shakhalin, our allies taking the southern japanese islands

During the war our claims over the manchurian territories were accepted, we started different kinds of taxations and our emperor gave more power to the parlament

After some time the ottomans surrendered, and gave us bulgaria, and the european armies were able to focus on italy, in japan we were able to keep the control in shakhalin for over 5 months, so we were planning to take hokaido

After taking a white peace with Italy, our european allies moved troops to help us, and took the southern islands and even further

Our claims over those territories were growing, and when we blocked their troops from crossing to hokaido they surrendered, and gave us a lot of territories

During all this Malaysia decided to become independent, and we supported them, this was our ultimate goal becoming true

Now we are planning to free even more people from the european

1885-1890 China-->Nationalist China

Hi I´m back

This time I was able not just to take one extra puppet, but 3, in the Russian war I got Georgia and Azerbaijan, and since I had already Persia I could make transcaspia, also during the last months of the Russian war the french declared war on Korea, and I was able to put the CB to puppet Algeria

This time I was able to expel the russians from most of the zones that were captured, also destroying even more the armies, going from around 250 professional regiments and over 300 mobilized before the war to 65 in the last 3 months of the war with mobilized, also as you can see I was able to take Moscow and Saint Petersburg at the end of 1887, and the war ended by august, so I was able to complete the "Capture and keep for at least 3 months one of the following capitals: London, Berlin, Paris, Washington, Saint Petersburg/Moscow" goal

And as I told you the last months the french declared war on us, so I called the germans, they did all the work conquering whole France, I just asqued to puppet Algeria

And after that I was able to create Transcaspia, while I decided to destroy my army just because I´m lazy and didn´t want to take each army, combine the ones that I divided, create the replacements of the armies in red, and put them in the border

I will prepare my army to fight in Japan, because I wasn´t able to create a big army beacuase of the war with russia

Now with the history:

Those barbarians from the west of the mountains, tried to make our empire fall, but now we are not as weak as 40 years ago, we are now more than capable to stop their armies

We created a big defensive line north the himalayas while advancing as the Mongols 6 centuries ago through the taigas and steppes, even reaching their most importan cities, the so called Third Rome and The White Capital

Their armies were obliterated every month, every battle were a complete massacre, but the French were aiming to take our most loyal allies, the koreans, they decided to attack us even when we destroyed the most powerful army in all Europe

But since we didn´t want more young lives to perish against western pigs, so we called our european ally, and they march and captured the whole country, like this we were able to liberate even more nations out of their Imperialist hands

The Transcaspian people and the great nation of algeria, we disbanded our armies to let rest our soldiers and expand our army, we need to prepare an army to take the islands at the east

OUR NATION IS BECOMING GREAT AGAIN
