Yes, specifically the Vietnamese in recent years, the Koreans and the Japanese. But like the Chinese, their cultures are Confucian. That's the critical factor IMHO.
(How can you be sure they follow Confucian culture? They all eat with chopsticks. No kidding!)
Also, two other Asian countries, where Chinese are an extremely influential minority, have done moderately well in the economic arena -- Malaysia and Thailand.
In the meantime, the non-Confucian countries in Asia haven't done do so well -- Indonesia, Laos, Burma, Cambodia, Philippines, India, Nepal, etc.
(And guess what? They don't eat with chopsticks. They eat either with spoons or with their fingers!)
You are correct. And the big ideas of Confucius are strong families, cultivation of knowledge and morality.
These are very similar to the big ideas of Judaism.
When you study successful cultures they tend to have those three big ideas in common.
Genetically they may be as different as you can get. But their ideas converge.
