I highly doubt your conclusion. You know what happens to smart Chinese people? They leave China. The comforts of capitalism and the cultural gravity of the West is too strong to overcome. They still don't even use toilets in much of the country and you're claiming they're going to invent AI, come on.
Don't get me wrong. They are not a nation of automatons, I am not calling them dumb or inferior. Just be real. They are making social progress, but they're still very far behind, and that pushes a lot of smart people out.
- kwizzt 8y agoCan you show me some sources for the claim that 'Chinese people do not using toilets in much of the country'? For all I know, it's the Indians and some Middle East countries that prefer water over toilet paper.

- jbob2000 8y agoSources? Have you been to China? It's only in some major cities that places have toilets, otherwise you use a hole in the ground!
- kwizzt 8y agoYes I have been to China, as I was born and raised in China. I've been to small villages, towns and large cities. I would say that very few places are actually not using toilets like the some places in north-western/south-western part of China. However, the majority of the Chinese people live in other parts along the coast and major water bodies. I remember when I was very little, so at least 20 years ago, there were no toilets in the village I was born in. It has not remained that case since then. I would say your information is pretty stale.
