Some of my conservative friends worry that China is trying to impose its political system on the rest of the world. Ask the Chinese about this, and they look at you as if you’re crazy: There’s no way you barbarians could reproduce our system, even if you wanted to, they explain. You can’t accept failure.
The key to China’s system is the willingness of its people to accept failure. The ticket to middle-class success in China is a university education, and 10 million Chinese high-school students take the entrance exam (Gaokao) every year. They study prodigiously, and the average Chinese family spends a year’s income on tutoring. They have to: the Gaokao is flabbergastingly difficult (see some sample questions here). But only half will pass. Some of each year’s losers re-take the exam; most will go to trade or technical schools. The top scorers go to prestigious universities like Peking or Tsinghua. The one thing Xi Jinping can’t do is to send his kid to Peking University. It’s all done by exam score.

The long term trend is not a good one for the US.
Cuz they bought America's ass from the Biden family for 1 1/2 BILLION fricken dollars!
SCREW AMERICA ANYMORE - WE'RE FINISHED!!
We are also not willing to acknowledge sin.
The Chinese have a little secret—diversity is _not_ a strength.
After college exam is done, they published test scores in order of high to low by each student name on the wall in school yard
Parents gather to check their kids score if it is over minimum admission required score
Some parents are happy and some not. Everyone knows everyone else’s score.
Can that happen in America?
That’s interesting.
How do they pick the ones that are sent to the US?
Our top schools are full of ChiCom sent students because they pay full fare.
Nope, they send him to Harvard.
I spent a couple of years working security for a major university. And I always grabbed the holiday shifts for the overtime.
The campus was pretty much deserted on those days - except for the Chinese students. For them, it was business as usual. They’d be in the labs and in the science libraries.
I must admit I was impressed.
Some of those losers have rich dad. Some of them choose to go to America for college because it is a little easier
Kids from poor families (most of them)got no choice but study hard

Easy, they are the ones that didn’t qualify for Chinese Universities.
There is no doubt that a totalitarian system can force workers to be diligent by threatening them, but such a system cannot adequately incentivize people to be creative.
Creativity comes from the freedom to express oneself and to reap the rewards of such expression. Freedom creates an environment conducive to and nurturing of self-expression, whether in the arts, medicine, math, or sciences.
The socialist, communist, totalitarian system can only produce robots.
The rest come to our universities here.
Just like the Japs sent Yamamoto to Harvard.
to piggyback on your and #4 post ...
‘diversity’ is not a strength, nor is ‘perversity’.
Also posted here other very good points ... if you have the freedom to imagine and run with your dreams you must also not fear the prospect of failure.
This is a little inaccurate but just a little.
To quote Dennis Miller, the Obama economic plan: it it fails, subsidise it. It if succeeds, tax the fock out of it. If it barely creeps along, airlift Barney Frank to get in the middle of everything.
That's it in a nutshell.
And, as many have said, there is no such thing as failure. What might be considered as failure by some is just a learning experience for creative people.
When my Dad went to medical school, on the first day, there was a lecture.
“Look to your right, look to your left. One of you three won’t be here in a year”.
This very week, the lead article in the New England Journal of Medicine was about the need to make appropriate accommodations for medical students and residents who were mentally ill.
Times have changed.
“The long term trend is not a good one for the US.”
Yes, it would seem so. IMHO, the best we can hope for is for prosperity to make their kids fat, coddled, and entitled, and for adversity to make ours lean and strong.
