I’m not trying to make an evaluative comparison between China and the US, I’m lamenting the state of US education and found a new phrase that felt descriptive about that online.
I would wager that the average Chinese citizen is more educated than the average US citizen. And particularly, students who attended school in China are more intelligent, on average, than US school students.
I don’t have anything on hand to back it up, but I would be shocked if it wasn’t true.
China kills themselves for schooling and does as well as Americans in business and science so it’s hard to see one being better than the other.

Maybe, just maybe, the objective of education isn’t just science or business.
Maybe being science/math/humanities literate is good for society as a whole.
