Lol Trademark you strike me as some kind of closet racist and sinophobe. Ignorant at least.

Nobody here has said "they" invented everything. But they make good TVs and that sort of material junk.

Still most inventions that have been of great import for human development, such as the telephone, radio, tv, nuclear power, all came from the west.

So chill man, western intellectual dominance is sure to continue for a long time the way asian kids are schooled. They are drilled from very early childhood to learn by route, which induces stress and is accompanied by high suicide rates etc. There's little or no creativity left in them by the time they graduate university.

It takes out of the box-thinking creativity to think of something brand new, you basically need to be self-thought to invent something great. That and lots of room for experiment, reflection and freedom to pursue whatever the fuck you feel like to. That's not likely to happen in any country where you have more than one person per 10 square meter etc.

Chinese have a lot of land and still live with a lot of people on 10 sqaure meters.
And they dont invent things either.
Why is that?

But why do they do that? Its idiotic.
I saw documentaries about japanese kids adn they clean their school and everything after they had hours of boring lessons and then they went to an afternoon school.
It seemed like a very dull learning facts by heart kind of learning.
How much brain do you have left after such a day?

Pretty sure it was originally intended as a "just in case America gets nuke-horny again" bunker.
