  4. It's a thing in Chinese culture that starts in childhood. No one cares if you are really good, they only care if you are the very best. Parents/teachers will constantly compare their kids to a fictitious perfect kid who could do better, and no one cares how you actually get to the top. This does many things: Chinese gamers strongly prefer competitive videogames like LoL and Dota, there's always a wild surplus of applicants to prestigious jobs, and many corporate execs will attempt blitzscaling regardless if there's a logical reason to do so.
