I'm not sure if this is completely /sci/ or not. I don't consider management science to be worthwhile but I think this is interesting to think about.
If Chinese people are made to work in an extremely hard working way (their Gaokao end of high school exams require crushingly high amounts of study that we'd consider child abuse and make the SAT / A levels look easy as shit), and there are so many of them, then why don't they have a monopoly on... anything? Scientific or mathematical achievement, artistic creations, businesses: They're not even a fucking footnote!
What's going on?? Is this proof that hard work is overrated?
I'm not referring at all to people of Chinese ethnicity who grew up outside of China.

Chinese people like other Asians simply don't care about discovery. They prefer to use what humanity knows now and apply it to satisfying their technological needs and that's pretty much it.

maybe they don't share a lot of their findings

Rote learning does not promote problem solving.
Their university is hilariously easy. Like, professors giving you the exam, and a separate sheet with all of the answers on it easy.
