Were those patents for new innovations and technology or are they a refinement on existing technology? China doesn't make new things. It is very good at processing existing things though.

My complaint isnt specific to China, but China is an excellent example of how the production centers of the world are doing no service to the people who have to make things. They are given one set of instructions and told to memorize it without question and repeat the action ad infinitum. The only time a person in this system can make change is to improve the process or procedure that they are given.

My complaint is also based on personal experience with China and the Chinese education system. Most of SEA is bad but nearly all the other countries in the area constantly innovate and create new things. Why can't China? For a person who is ignorant of the daily life and upbringing in a Chinese household, this looks like racism. But if I told you that I'm Chinese and was raised like this, what now? I have legit issues with China and the way they do things, which results in a globally poor reputation for goods and services. They could be better and instead China slums it with the lazy kleptocratic business approach. It's shameful and beneath them. Racism is saying they can do no better and are destined for this. My complaint is that they are capable of somuch more and stopped trying.
