Besides it will upset the Chinese physics profs and grad students to have a “round eyed foreign devil” smarter than they think they are.
it seems ingrained into the asian mindset.
an example is the chinese piano prodigy that I posted about. Clearly he is gifted. however, no way the parents knew he would be that gifted when he was plonking around on those piano keys at the age of 1 in that video. He looks like every other kid plonking on the keys.
They bought him a 20 grand piano. I think at the age of 2. They still probably didnt know yet. It’s like they expected it and lucked out that he actually is a prodigy.
