I refuse to believe Asians are way smarter than Americans as long as China keeps having to steal 1/4 to 1/2 trillion $’s of intellectual property from us each year, even though they literally have 4 to 5 times as many brains as we do.
Chinese = all Asians? Showing your ignorance.
Have to and want to, of course are two different things. Easier to steal then to put in the R&D effort. I don’t think they are smarter or dumber, just have not yet built of the people infrastructure of experts in the different fields. But they also work their asses off. If you read scientific journals you see lots of info coming out now from Chinese universities, that will lead to innovation. I think socialism/communism eventually collapses as those bright people do not want to be yoked down, but don’t fool yourself into believing they are less intelligent.
