Is it true that China during the Song Dynasty was on the brink of capitalism and industrialization?

Nope.
It was mercantile- like every Chinese dynasty. And every Chinese dynasty ever did mass production.
It just had an absolute boss-tier of administrative acumen of all the Chinese dynasties, Shame about their fucking handling of the military.

Capitalism didn't exist until the Industrial revolution.
Maybe something more like the renaissance.

A renaissance of what? It wasn't even as glorious as the Tang was.
