Why are Chinese so smart?

Answer 1

Chinese people are generally different from one another. We are all individuals. We have differing intelligence, talent and capability. Some of us are smart, some of us are less academically-inclined. So there are smart Chinese and there are not as smart Chinese people.

However, the reason why the Local Chinese tend to score higher on exams overseas is because of their culture. They place emphasis on hard work to achieve what they want in life. As a result, they generally work and study harder, which is a reason for their Higher Results. They are also generally a minority and have assimilated to some degree to the culture of the country they are residing in, which means that if they are unable to achieve success in that country, they have nothing to fall back on!

Chinese people who go overseas to study are often ahead of their local counterparts. This is because their education system is ahead of other countries in terms of syllabus. As a result, they learn certain topics much earlier than their foreign counterparts.

Chinese Language consist of 50000 basic Characters, with a non-existent alphabet (Although the closest example would be Pinyin and Zhuyin, which can be difficult and time-consuming to master). You have to literally memorise close to 5000 basic characters to operate in China. Compare this to English, which only has a 26 characters alphabet.

I hope that answers your question :)

Answer 2

Intelligence is not determined by race or nationality, but rather by a combination of factors such as education, environment, and individual effort. It is important to avoid stereotypes and recognize that intelligence exists in every culture and community.
