The Chinese can do some pretty stupid things.
I'm not at all convinced that they do more stupid things than we do.
They also have plenty of very creative geniuses.
The cream of the crop from 1.2 billion people is a
LOT MORE
than the cream of the crop from 300,000,000 million people.
We discount Chinese genius and creativity at our peril.
Not when the cream of the crop from 1.2 B are still trying to get a fricking education.....
Try less than 1% in China get to advanced school. And EVERYDAMNBODY gets to junior college here. (That's not a bad thing if you are a single male...)
