World have witness how easy it was to collapse from the roots in a communist empire. One day China might face a similar situtation. Also, it is very hard to see what is really happening in china and what price the country is paying to generate such a booming economy. The communist curtain may cover them today but it will open someday.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38644027.post-61734423331643108482007-05-06T09:35:00.000-04:002007-05-06T09:35:00.000-04:00Dear Omar, I agree that the real reason is the AVE...Dear Omar, I agree that the real reason is the AVERAGE level of skills in a country, and not the extremes skewness we see everywhere in the world. In fact, China, South Korea, Japan and Europe in its "golden age' were all built on the pillar of universal access to education. <BR/><BR/>I do not agree however, that ethnic homegeniety is necessarily a contributing factor. Skills/IQ (barring the genius) are a matter of nurture, not nature in my opinion. If Asian kids are good at math, that is because of the way it is drilled into us from birth, the way it is taught in a very structured way, and the way we are amde to believe that math skills are indeed the ultimate indicater of our intellect.Ananya Mukherjee Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04003136263171977166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38644027.post-88170920743997506152007-05-06T05:47:00.000-04:002007-05-06T05:47:00.000-04:00Or you could go along with the REAL reason.

There is a .73 correlation between a nations average IQ and its GDP. China's ethnic homogeneity is an advantage as well.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03363744131641249093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38644027.post-72806532921584731592007-04-29T20:43:00.000-04:002007-04-29T20:43:00.000-04:00Are you going to write more on the piece?
