[quote=GUESTGUESTB,403595]Why should China adopt the US system of individual self-expression, when the cultural values are totally different? Japan is even more conformist than China, and with only half the population of the US and a shorter developmental history, they seem to be doing quite well in the 'creative' and innovation areas, and lead the world in many areas of advanced technology, remarkable considering they were the only advanced industrialized nation in Asia for decades, and face huge cultural and linguistic challenges in importing scientific and technological knowledge from the rest of the world. In the 60s, Japanese electronics were considered junk, but not 15-20 years later Sony Walkmans and Casio Gamewatches are taking the world by storm. Even today, isn't the Wii the most innovative of the videogame consoles? Many all individuals retain the ability to be creative, and other factors like team cohesion, shared values, government programs, infrastructure, etc. are more important to technological advancement than the so-called 'free creative expression' allowed in American schools.[/quote]
