In America intelligence is seen as Yankee ingenuity, building a better mousetrap. Talking back to your superiors and finding a better way is smiled on if you can produce results in the states.
In china, intelligence is seen as efficiency, doing something well, getting the right boxes filled on the exam, non-intelligence related things that are called intelligence. Go talking about how the yuan is pegged to the dollar instead of gold and the government won't hire you because you aren't parroting the group think (I have experience talking to some china-women about this). Try to break out of your class and get beaten back into it.
It's the culture. I really think if china could break out of it's meek-slave mentality and have them start thinking that the Earth is theirs for the taking if they want it, then it could blow United States out of the water a thousand times over. Educate the meek slave class sleeping giant with care! It took thousands of years to craft a group of people who will work and not fight back when exploited.
They can't afford ethics, honesty, "care and affection" and stuff. But without it they can't beat the slave spirit so hardly ingrained in their social DNA. Egg and the chicken, huh? They need to propagate the wealth in their system so they can stop worrying about the cash and start being themselves.
