I’ve never studied in China, but having spent a reasonable amount of time working in a Chinese tech company, I do agree. It’s not that there wasn’t creativity, but the culture very strongly did not allow for anyone to perform duties or tasks even moderately outside of exactly what they were told to. I think this definitely has and will hold them back.
