One aspect of China and so many countries outside of the west is just how unequal they are that people keep forgetting. Yes China is communist, at the very least in name. It is also incredibly unequal. So there are rich kids in China. And while inequality means per-capita less rich kids, but they tend to be much richer than a US rich kid, and China is easily 5 times bigger, so ... no shortage of very rich kids. And yes, some of them are smart. https://www.instagram.com/richkidsofchina/ https://www.instagram.com/richkidsofchina/ So no, it is not that there are no smart kids with resources in China. In fact quite the opposite. Perhaps it's like most countries outside of the west. I've seen this play out several times with Iranians. It's the environment, the government, the ideology. Iranians, the ones that managed to maintain some wealth, know what they're doing. They're pretty smart. A bunch of them go back every few years. In Iran, they don't achieve much. Outside of Iran, they achieve a lot. The same people. At least there resources would be a better explanation, but that's not it. In reality the Iranian state will brutally stamp out any public display of culture (because Iranian culture is anything but islamic. In fact, don't even call it Iranian. It's Persian). So what's left is Persians outside of Iran and drug parties.
