Intelligence is a necessary but not sufficient condition to generating new technology.
I don’t have firsthand experience, but I have heard that China is attempting to restructure their education programs which have been historically 100% aimed at test taking which is not a good way to produce leaders, original thought, and value to society. The elites of China still send their children abroad to study.
- spwa4 1y agoThat's not the problem you keep hearing about. China is incredibly unequal. The education program is aimed at test taking because the only way to do anything is to first climb the ladder in the communist party. How do you get into the lowest rung of the communist party? How do you start climbing the ladder? Well, a test, the "Gaokao". There's your explanation. You need to know math, and of course exactly how Xi Jingping (and the CCP) is a god and the solution to all the worlds problems (there's 3 volumes about it which you have to know by hard: "习近平谈治国理政") Looks like (three of) this book: https://www.amazon.com/Xi-Jinping-Governance-Simplified-Chinese/dp/7119124102 https://www.amazon.com/Xi-Jinping-Governance-Simplified-Chin... If anything, Chinese people outside of China show that their education aimed at test taking works damn well. China doesn't let them out anymore, but it's not lack of ability.
