  1. They don't. This is the style of education in a lot of Asian countries, which is why they make good workers because they're trained to never question authority.

  2. Exactly! Sad part is they know it too.

  3. It's just a reflection of how stressful and competitive their country is. There is little to no choice for anything

  4. It's all for show. Get high grades for the sake of high grades. Who cares if it's applicable in the real world?

  5. Chinese don't aknowledge human limits. That's why they act almost robotic.

  6. Life as an adult won't be that much better unfortunately.

  7. It's not just society, it's their culture, down to their parents.

  8. You memorize math formulas. That's about it. I knew a lot of Asians who loved that because they're not memorizing multiple dates like in history class or definitions like in English class or biology class.

  9. 70% is a low mark in Math for an Asian. Hell even a 95% is a low mark. They want you to get 100%

  10. At least some Chinese parents are aknowledging this reality and are instead opting for their children to play instead of constantly stressing them out for no reason.

  11. ​ @BeatoricheChannel-yy4gk anytime I hear "they're so ahead" I already know it's propaganda.

  12. Not permanently unemployed, flexibly employed 🤞

  13. What's frustrating is that youtubers and American influencers are starting to spout the exact same rhetoric and it's getting frustrating. Doug DeMuro was one I just recently noticed when talking about Chinese cars. When he said "they're so ahead" and offered no specifics as to why, I just rolled my eyes.

  14.  @CommenterIndeed  Lol. Most of my employers never even bothered to ask me about my education. Unless, if what you are learning is technical they don't care. You're just seen as cheap labor. They don't care what you know. There's on the job training and they tell you what to do and what their expectations are - this has nothing to do with anything you learned in school.

  15. To be subservient. There is no purpose. There isn't even any purpose for most college degrees. Not once have I ever been questioned by my employer about my education. Everything is pure garbage. There's on the job training. Once you get experience in management, you can leave and find opportunities elsewhere.

  16. Having a degree decades ago was never a guarantee that you would land a good job. You just had better odds. Want to be shoe in for a job? Have the right connections. Because at that point, your degree and your grades won't matter and you will be paid better than everyone. I've seen this first hand in Canada. It's all politics.

  17. It was never a real dream. It was always an illusion, which should be no surprise in the land of shortcuts and facades.

  18. ​ @novaboy1174 you're being sarcastic right?

  19. ​ @CommenterIndeed chinese think the real world is like school which it isn't.

  20. Even if they did. Politics will always stifle innovation so it's all useless anyway.

  21. "Heedless toward the vague and disconnected appeals of small reform groups for collective action, 395 million Chinese - out of a possible population of 400 million - constitute the most easily intimidated people in the world. Day after day advantage is taken of this submissiveness by bandits, war lords, pirates, wholesale extortion gangs, and duly accredited provincial and central government officials, on a scale probably never before paralleled in the world's history." - "Ways that are dark: The Truth About China" by Ralph Townsend (Former US Consul who lived in 1930s China)

  22.  @AMDRyzen57500F  here in Canada, 70 is a C+. Especially where I'm at, Asian students who are top tier easily score over 90%. Different standards in Asia, it's probably harder over there. I had classmates who literally would go home crying after scoring 99%.

  23.  @KitKitChanIsaac  I also flunk math in high school. When I applied myself in college I got a B+ (87 here in Canada). But that was a time where I practiced nonstop, even getting extra homework from the professor to help me with exams.

  24. But that's what they do best. They double down on what's not working thinking that it will give them better results. It's literally the definition of insanity. No critical thinking, no common sense, and a lot of wasted effort.

  25. Taking yourself out of the job market is just pure cope. At some point you have to face reality.

  26. Like what? Be specific

  27. China is ahead of the US in STEM and yet they come to the US to take STEM. You're delusional.

  28. A lot of what they are studying is useless in the real world anyway. Certainly won't matter when they are a delivery driver or an internet influencer selling crap online.

  29.  @BeatoricheChannel-yy4gk  I get that it's hard to come up with something original in this day and age. But what separates other companies/countries is that they ADD value to already existing concepts. China adds nothing other than to make everything a cheap sub par version of what already exists. They try to appeal to the masses but innovation does not come from that level of consumption. Innovation is driven by healthy profit margins, which is why they have to keep stealing IP because they literally can't afford to innovate.

  30.  @BeatoricheChannel-yy4gk  "Just as the Chinese mentality lacks real inventiveness, it emphatically lacks constructiveness in all fields. Their leading writers and speakers are ninety-nine percent of the same stamp, as witness any Chinese magazine or newspaper, or the theses Chinese university students are prone to polish off in this country. The modern writer whom the Chinese most revere, Sun Yat-sen, reveals everywhere this academic negativity. He tells what ought not to be done, but in stating what should be done he goes little farther than saying that he wants China to be a land of cooperating workers living happily. Out of the thousands of Chinese students with the best education the world can provide it is one of the amazing contemporary phenomena that they have produced no thinkers of any rating." - "Ways that are dark: The Truth About China" by Ralph Townsend (Former US Consul who lived in 1930s China) Whatever "knowledge" China has or had was already exported to the world years ago. That's why they are where they are now. They're now trying to play catch up with the world because they've been left behind.
