(What most Americans know about China are LIES propagated by our government and media.......as many of us are already discovering. - CL)
Obviously the lion’s share of China’s enormous success has been due to the ability and hard work of the Chinese people.
For decades, international testing has shown that China has the world’s highest average IQ, and this finding has dramatic implications at the top end. As physicist Steve Hsu pointed out in 2008, international psychometric data indicates that the American population probably contains some 10,000 individuals having an IQ of 160 or higher, while the total for China is around 300,000, a figure thirty times larger.
Over the last couple of generations, respectable American intellectual circles have severely anathematized this controversial topic, but scientific reality exists whether or not our elites choose to pretend otherwise. Indeed, these racial and evolutionary factors regarding the Chinese people have been completely obvious to me for nearly the last half-century, and such factors largely explained my confident expectations of China’s rise, expectations that have been proven entirely correct. I recently summarized these issues in a lengthy review article:
