China’s education system also suppresses innovation while rewarding imitation. Although some Chinese schools conduct innovative experimental education, they remain few and have little impact.From childhood to adulthood, Chinese students are subjected to rote learning—memorizing and obeying rather than questioning or thinking independently. Thus, while Chinese students and researchers excel at replication and refinement of existing work, they are poor at true creativity.
Thats really sad because Musk didnt innovate shit, just the person who made the most money off of electric cars
Very sad. It was incredibly funny to see the disparity in internet discourses earlier this year, when American libs were condemning Elon Musk as the greatest evil, many on the Chinese internet was like “Elon was trying so hard to help Trump save America (the DOGE thing was quite popular with his fans lol) but he was pushed out by the crazy MAGAs! America is doomed! It’s game over for America.” They were depicting Elon Musk as this heroic savior who could have single handedly save the US from its decline.
lmao, you can’t make this shit up
Oh my days
To be fair, China is a huge country so clearly most people are not like that. But it’s funny to see just how many supporters he had in China when he was like the most hated guy in the US earlier this year.
And unfortunately a lot of it has to do with the anti-LGBT people who believe that Western openness is causing a decay in their own society and they share Elon’s anti-LGBT stance as a “fix” toward that. It’s a mess of incoherent politics and ideologies so I don’t even bother to deconstruct them too much.
What’s interesting is just how many government officials and business leaders liked him, at least in the 2010s when he was seen as this pioneering visionary in green technology, which China really wanted to emulate at the time lol. Did nobody realize he’s been a scam all this while?
