I agree that the competition in the schools are soul sucking and robs children of their childhood. However, you have a common Western view that I don't believe is very accurate. Mostly from people that don't understand the region. To say they don't innovate or have novel ideas is comforting for the west but wrong. I've heard from the heads of Google and even Elon talk about China, saying these stereotypes are completely absurd. Intelligent ppl innovate, Chinese can and will. Half of modern society arises from Chinese innovation, to dismiss that shows a real Western propaganda bias. Not here to give a lesson on history, or shill for a repressive regime. Just pointing out that these policies can and often will backfire
